An addition to Chesapeake Fitness Center, the East Addition boasts an all-glass exterior housing a basketball court and a rock climbing wall, among other things.
Architectural Concept:
1. Glass workout tower with workout areas that are transparent to campus but not to public road.
2. Emphasis movement – people stretching in glass walkway and going up and down stairs are visible from public road.
3. Articulate difference between structure and skin – glass is pulled away from concrete structure.
4. Glass workout tower gives feeling of being up in a tree-house next to the creek.
