ATHLETIC PRECINCT ATHLETIC & PERFORMANCE CENTER The Academic & Performance Center (APC) shelters three vital components for the intercollegiate athlete’s full development: academic advising, strength and conditioning, and sports medicine and training. These program components create dynamic atmospheres and synergies throughout a building that celebrates wellbeing for the body, mind, and spirit. The APC is built along a node of the future main campus pedestrian walkway. This unique situation results in the integration of an elevated pedestrian walkway over William Stadium Road. The pedestrian bridge embraces the same materials and articulation qualities as the building. The gentle slope is maintained along the pedestrian bridge as it lands on top of a green roof and crosses in front of the building’s main façade on level 3. The APC is located on a steep slope between an existing parking lot to the west and an existing track and field to the east, and is perpendicular to Williams Stadium Road to the south. The first two levels of the building

are buried in the steep terrain, while level 3 maintains uninterrupted views all around. The unique site conditions demanded an organizational and sectional response implemented by an atrium that allows abundant daylight to penetrate deep into the space. This atrium serves as the spinal element connecting all the program pieces together, positively affecting them with daylight while allowing for spectacular views to the mountains beyond.
