The
Ohio State University
Recreation and Physical
Activity Center
Columbus, Ohio
This 600,000 sports and recreation facility is the University’s
largest of its time and was designed and built in two permitted
phases to allow uninterrupted operations of certain portions
of intramural activities. Its three principal elements are
a student recreational sport facility, the academic component
of Physical Activity and Education Services and the competitive
swimming and diving pools.
The major spaces include a wellness area, fitness area, weight
room, basketball, volleyball, badminton, indoor soccer, floor
hockey, squash courts, climbing wall, jogging track and golf
driving stations. The new aquatic center features an Olympic
competition pool, a diving pool, a recreation/lap/class pool,
and a leisure pool. Korda won a 2008 American Council of Engineering
Companies Outstanding Achievement Award for this project. |
