ua swimming + diving locker rooms fayetteville, arkansas
The swimming and diving team at the University of Arkansas were relegated to a small corner of the existing HPER facility, which had been roughly outfitted for their lockers and lounge. The entry was not well considered, the locker area was no longer large enough for the expanding team, and the space generally lacked the energy, inspiration, and presence that a university athletic team deserves. The new design of this facility formalizes the entry to create a public face for the team and emulates the form of a narrow reflective swimming lane with a proud translucent glass approach.
