STEVE TISCH SPORTS AND FITNESS CENTER

TUFTS UNIVERSITY

Project Description Iconic Expansion brings new life to fitness and wellness An expansion and modernization of the outdated fitness facility, the new Sports and Fitness Center provides 42,000 SF of new lockers, a brand new state of the art fitness center, sports medicine, multipurpose rooms, classroom/conferencing, and a new consolidated coaches suite with offices and support space.

The new Sports and Fitness wing will also be the main entry point to the athletic complex consisting of the Cousens Gymnasium, Gantcher Center, Ames Fitness Center, and Hamilton Pool. The design challenge of the new building was the site constraints, as this new expansion needed to nestle itself among three existing buildings with four different floor levels. The new entrance features a three-story atrium space, from which visitors can travel to the adjacent facilities. The new glass and pre-patinated copper faรงade breaks from the typical New England Georgian architecture, introducing a unique modern expression that provides Tufts with an iconic building for its Athletic Department.
