Wayne State's Campus Fitness Center is located at the intersection of the two primary pedestrian malls and the center campus square, and adjacent to the student services and library buildings. The constrained site mandated a multi-story building to accommodate program elements.  The compact rectangular shape and durable but inexpensive materials are cost-effective responses to the project’s tight budget. 

 

Building components that require privacy or less access, such as locker rooms, leisure pool and mechanical spaces, are placed in the lower level.  High demand areas, including a two-story lobby and social space, control center, a sculptural climbing wall, cardiovascular and weight training fitness area, and administrative offices, are placed on the first floor.  The second floor consists of a gymnasium with two full basketball courts, an aerobics/dance studio, and multi-purpose room.  The third floor provides a three-lane running track and additional fitness equipment area.  The entire facility is ADA compliant.
