JESSE OWENS NORTH REC CENTER
For my redesign of the Jesse Owens North Recreation Center in the North Campus District at The Ohio State University, I aimed to create a destination that welcomes both students and the public alike. Using the site and existing axes and pedestrian traffic routes, a form was developed to create sight-lines, to keep hard edges and to create multiple outdoor spaces. A sloped roof opening up to the intersection of Lane Avenue and Neil Avenue draws the public in and welcomes them to the café and college bookstore while the sloped roof and cantilevered upper floors facing campus draw students in from the residence halls to the main lobby of the gym. Once inside the main space, a large atrium looks down onto stacked athletic courts, allowing sight-lines to all program and activity.
