ANDREWS STUDENT RECREATION & WELLNESS CENTER, YOUNGSTOWN STATE UNIVERSITY | YOUNGSTOWN, OH

 

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

STUDIO: STROLLO + ELLERBE-BECKETT

SIZE: 75,000 SF

 

This facility is at the heart of a campus of about 13,000

students, as it is linked directly to the student center and

faces Spring Street, a major east-west route through the

campus.

 

Completed in 2005 in conjunction with Ellerbe-Beckett, the

75,000 square foot structure includes a 4-court sports

forum surrounded by an indoor, elevated running track that

penetrates the building exterior on one end and circles

above the strength and conditioning area. The facility has

an aerobics and multi-purpose gymnasium that opens onto

Spring Street and a 53-foot climbing wall that penetrates

the roof of the building and overlooks the valley beyond.
