This project is part of a program within Warren City Schools to advance education through involvement in sports and activities. The Wellness Center provides opportunities for the school’s sports teams, robotics, e-sports, and and others to have a place within the facility. The facility features a 200 meter track on the first floor with a long jump pit and a walking track on the second level. A dedicated 8,000 SF area the robotics team is blended with sensory rooms, a cardio center, a weights training area and golf simulator room. A student run bistro is on the first floor and an outdoor classroom area in on the second level over the football locker rooms. The 136,000 SF facility includes student lounge areas, study stairs, and space for a student clinic and public health center. The building has been designed for solar power while reducing the existing storm water discharge into the community. The soaring 40′, north-facing, bird glass curtain wall addresses the football stadium and the outdoor classroom that will be finished with a green roof. The design merges education and sports and intentionally deviates from the traditional form to create a new atmosphere within the district.
