NORTHRIDGE HIGH SCHOOL VIKING STADIUM

NORTHRIDGE LOCAL SCHOOLS

The new Viking Stadium, featuring artificial turf and an eightlane track, strengthens community involvement and school spirit.

It hosts not only football games but also soccer matches and marching band competitions. Even baseball and softball teams can practice there. The field and track also support physical education programs for kindergarteners through high schoolers.

The stadium’s 1,500 home seats and 750 visitor seats double the seating capacity of its predecessor. It also offers a 1,500-squarefoot concessions and restroom building.

Regular meetings during design assembled stakeholders ranging from administrators and coaches to board members, boosters, and the IT director. The design-build construction process allowed quick revisions.

NORTH SCOTT HIGH SCHOOL LANCER ATHLETIC BUILDING

NORTH SCOTT COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT

Lancer Athletic Building provides much-needed athletic program space, improves safety, and solves double-booking problems. The 25,000-square-foot facility includes two multipurpose gyms, as well as cardio and weightlifting space. It also supports physical education programs and serves as a venue for community and park district recreational groups.

Because securing space was a struggle in the old gym, some student-athletes had to practice late. With the new Lancer Athletic Building and its two full-sized courts, practices end much earlier. The gym accommodates not only North Scott athletic teams but also community teams and feeder programs from area schools.

LANCER FOOTBALL STADIUM

NORTH SCOTT COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT Dated and undersized concession and locker room facilities were just the beginning of North Scott High School’s Lancer Football Stadium shortcomings.

Renovations improve the spectator experience and increase field durability. Highlights include a new entry and a new facility with a concession window. The facility houses storage, laundry, coaches’ offices, restrooms, and separate varsity sport and gym class locker rooms. The project also replaces grass with artificial turf.

ATHLETIC COMPLEX

OTTUMWA COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT

22

The old gym hidden within Ottumwa High School was small and had no spectator seating — competitions took place at a middle school gym two miles away.

A new, 35,000-square-foot complex across the street from the high school not only gives the Bulldogs a new home but also better supports the physical education curriculum. Two “sunken” gyms offer nearly 1,500 fixed seats and additional hoops for half-court games. The first floor includes concessions, restrooms, and office space while the lower level houses storage, laundry, coach offices/restrooms, and separate varsity sport and gym class locker rooms.

NORTH SCOTT HIGH SCHOOL SOFTBALL FIELD

NORTH SCOTT COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT

North Scott High School was one of the only Mississippi Athletic Conference (MAC) teams with only one softball field. Moreover, its existing field had ruts and low spots affecting player safety and ball behavior.

A new, LED-lit softball field features grandstands for 700 spectators, a press box, connected dugouts, and bullpens. A highquality DuraEdge custom blend of clay, sand, and silt covers the infield surface, and the outfield has natural grass. Beyond the left field fence, four new turfed batting cages eliminate idle time and moving between fields. The project includes a new concession stand as well as a new parking lot.

24

OTTAWA YMCA Ottawa’s YMCA had become dilapidated and no longer met the community’s needs. The new Ottawa YMCA, located at the confluence of the Illinois and Fox rivers, rises as the first of several projects that will rejuvenate the community’s riverfront.

The 67,000-square-foot facility serves not only community members but also other groups ranging from several local high school swim teams to the Ottawa Rotary Club. Key components include a lap pool, therapy/activity pool, splash pad, gymnasium, elevated track, child watch area, lounge, exercise studios, and intergenerational room. Members also have access to the designated rehabilitation center for the YMCA’s health care partner OSF Saint Elizabeth Medical Center.

An extensive glass curtain wall offers members views of the Illinois River and an adjacent park. At night, the YMCA becomes a glowing beacon showcasing internal activity to the community.

AQUATIC & COMMUNITY CENTER

CITY OF MAYFIELD HEIGHTS

The 30,700-square-foot Aquatic & Community Center brings Mayfield Heights residents a new facility that raises the bar for recreational amenities in Cleveland’s eastern suburbs. The facility serves a variety of users ranging from children in day camps and members of senior clubs to fitness enthusiasts and bridal parties.

Aquatics portions include waterslides, a zero-depth entry pool with a playground and splash pad, a warm pool, a cooler lap pool with a diving well, and a lazy river.

The outdoor area also features a climbing wall and pavilions for shaded seating.

Among the interior spaces are a gym with two courts, a multiuse senior space, three banquet areas served by a full kitchen, administrative offices with meeting space for both staff and community members, and a concessions area that accesses the outdoors.

RIVERSIDE AQUATIC CENTER AND CLUBHOUSE

RIVERSIDE SWIM CLUB

Riverside Swim Club’s 60-year-old facility was outdated and too small for its member families. Parts of the deteriorated clubhouse fell short of code and ADA requirements, plus the pools had begun to leak.

A new, ADA- and code-compliant facility on the same site features a larger clubhouse, an eight-lane main pool, a children’s pool, and a sports court (tennis/pickleball/ basketball). The main pool includes a waterslide and one- and three-meter diving boards. The smaller pool’s 25-yard length and shallow depth support safe swim lessons. Children can sit on the entry stairs and keep their bodies submerged as an instructor teaches. The new facility enables the club to host more events and offer members much more deck space and food options.

30

OTTAWA YMCA

YMCA

The new Ottawa YMCA, located at the confluence of the Illinois and Fox rivers, rises as the first of several projects that will rejuvenate the community’s riverfront.

Market research projected that the new facility would increase membership from 1,900 to 2,700 within 12 to 18 months of completion. In reality, membership surged to 3,000 in the first two months after the facility opened.

Legat served as architect of record for this project. Gro Development provided programming and early concept studies.

NORTH SCOTT YMCA

NORTH SCOTT COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT | CITY OF ELDRIDGE | YMCA North Scott Community School District had to rent a substandard local pool for its high school swim team practices and meets. A partnership between the district, the City of Eldridge, and the YMCA creates a 43,500-square-foot fitness center that serves as a home for the swim team, as well as a resource for community members.

The first floor houses a lobby, gym, and natatorium including a competition pool, family recreation pool, and kiddie pool. The upper-level track surrounds a weight room and the gym below. Also upstairs is a dance/yoga studio with a view of the recreation pool.

The six-lane competition pool seats 135 spectators and has a one-meter diving board. The family recreation pool offers bench seating in the water and a hot tub that fits 13. It also has a play structure with slides, steps, sprayers, and a water dump bucket.

FMC NATATORIUM

FMC AQUATIC OPPORTUNITIES The lack of an adequate natatorium forced Illinois Swimming, Inc. to hold its biannual statewide age group swim meets outside the state. The FMC Natatorium not only provides an elite swimming venue for these meets, but it also serves as one of few Illinois facilities capable of hosting the Illinois High School Association (IHSA) State Finals. The 71,000-square-foot facility welcomes the entire spectrum of swimmers, from the infant getting a first swimming lesson to the U.S. Masters Swimming member with a lifetime of experience.

The natatorium features a 50-meter Olympic-sized competition pool. A unique horseshoe seating arrangement offers three sides of seating to accommodate up 1,200 spectators. A secondary development pool (eight lanes, 25 yards) serves many needs: open-lane swimming or jogging for members, warm-up/cool-down for major event competitors, training for younger team members, and lessons for community members.

COMMUNITY CENTER

MOSQUE FOUNDATION

The new community center will create a beacon at the heart of the Mosque Foundation’s campus.

The multipurpose facility will not only support fitness and sports activities but also host educational programs and community gatherings.

A three-story central volume features a grand atrium with a café and a child watch room. Classrooms above the atrium surround and display a third-floor courtyard/roof garden that opens to the sky. This central hub is flanked by a gymnasium and an indoor soccer field, both of which have elevated tracks and roof terraces. For larger gatherings, chairs can be set up to transform both spaces into event venues that welcome up to 800 people. The center also houses two double-story fitness centers and 20 classrooms.
