Recreational

Just Design It.

The demand for high performance isn’t just reserved for athletes. Our architects are equally competitive when it comes to creating facilities that foster school spirit, build community interaction, and feature the latest in advanced technology and materials. To us, these are more than just places to play, they are symbols of growth, excitement, strength and unity. Our planning and building designs encourage physical activity and promote features and amenities for health/wellness initiatives. These dynamic building forms coupled with inspiring interior and exterior views not only promote participation, but also enhance the overall recreational experience. So that in the end, victory will be yours.

Members of all ages enjoy an aquatic center, gymnasium, child watch, and wellness/fitness center, and a lap pool available for experienced swimmers (zero entry for younger children). Large bright airy spaces create an inviting atmosphere for exercise and engagement.
