This project replaces the former CCRB which was built in 1954 and expanded in 1977. Campus recreation needs and priorities have changed since then, and the new facility was designed with contemporary and future students in mind.

The existing CCRB, built in 1954 and expanded in 1977, will be demolished as a part of the project. The replacement CCRB is placed on the same site as the existing building and enjoys the benefits of an existing high-traffic pedestrian way, which at times serves nearly 40% of the total campus student population, daily.

The collection of spaces in the new CCRB is intentionally well-rounded. The facility has high transparency and visual interest, providing a feeling of activation with a WOW factor. Teamed with Integrated Design Solutions.
