University Center Rochester
Regional Recreation and Sports
Center
Rochester, MN
Developed
in collaboration with the faculty and staff of UCR and the
City of Rochester Parks and Recreation Department, the Center
meets the academic and athletic space needs of both the college
and the Rochester community. It’s prominently located between
UCR’s academic and recreational zones and is designed to accommodate
multiple sporting events simultaneously. The building includes a field house
with a 200 meter NCAA track and field courts for basketball,
volleyball, tennis and badminton; a gymnasium with bleacher
seating for 1,400 spectators; multi-use athletic spaces
for wrestling, fitness, aerobics and dance; and other spaces
such as offices, classrooms, and varsity and public locker
rooms.
The building is organized around an axial, creating an abundant central
atrium space that serves as a pre-function and student gathering
place.
The Center
is the first completed element of the UCR Campus Master Plan
originated by AKA and the Stubbins Associates.
