When is a gym not just a gym? When it\u2019s a campus hub for meet-ups, study groups, and numerous college organizations in addition to the expected basketball games and workouts. \u201cIn fact, that was our charge,\u201d Alice Kimm<\/a> says of the ground-up pavilion, its three-story, 144,000-square-foot form as dynamic as the activities it houses.<\/p>\n

The triple-height venue for the basketball court is underground. Other functions, such as the gym and the dance studio, are above, hugging the perimeter, to benefit from the sunlight. It\u2019s absolutely everywhere, because Kimm and her husband, John Friedman<\/a>, regard it as a building material, albeit an intangible one. \u201cWe care about it a lot, both coming from the top and with transparencies for exterior and interior partition walls,\u201d Friedman adds. That explains the facade\u2019s abundant windows.<\/p>\n

Glass aside, the facade\u2019s system of terra-cotta panels helped to create the building\u2019s energetic curves. The creamy surface is punctuated by vertical strips in the college colors, cardinal red and golden yellow, as well as white. For graphic interest inside, high on a wall of the atrium where the reception area is located, the college\u2019s name is spelled out, in relief, against a backdrop of letters, symbols, and words from the 10 languages most commonly used on campus. How were those languages determined? Through crowdsourcing.<\/p>\n
