It is exciting to share that Athletic Business has selected three of our sports and recreation projects as part of its prestigious annual Facilities of Merit awards.
Our work with Seton Hall University, Skidmore College and Under Armour are three of the 10 projects recognized by Athletic Business as the top 10 new or expanded athletics, fitness and/or recreation facilities of the year.
Here is more information about each of the award-winning projects:
Seton Hall Basketball Performance Center
Seton Hall Basketball Performance Center
The Basketball Performance Center is a bold step forward for Seton Hall and its commitment to empowering collegiate athletes to thrive. It offers dynamic amenities including a new basketball court, leading-edge strength and conditioning spaces, a film room, new coaches offices, a players lounge, dining room, a steam and sauna space and more.
A cantilevered section of the building, inspired by the way basketball players seemingly float above the rim, helps announce the building's presence from afar.
Under Armour's The Stadium at The House
The Stadium at The House is a state-of-the-art sports facility featuring a multidimensional field that can host high school football, NCAA and high school soccer and lacrosse, an eight-lane, 400-meter competition track and seating for 1,400 fans.
Day to day, Under Armour uses the venue to test its products in the pursuit of new levels of athlete performance. Infused with leading-edge technology, the facility can track and measure athletes' performance in real time.

Skidmore College McCaffery-Wagman Tennis and Wellness Center
Fusing athletics, recreation, fitness, mental health, educational resources and more in one space, the McCaffery Wagman Tennis and Wellness Center marks a pivotal moment for Skidmore College as it deepens its commitment to the holistic student experience.
The cube-shaped pavilion houses two floors of fitness space and a medical center, while the triangular volume connects to the surrounding outdoor tennis complex and includes athletic support, multiuse, wellness and counseling spaces.
These three award-winning projects build on our company's long track record of success with the Athletic Business Facilities of Merit program. More than 15 of our facilities have earned this distinction over time, including projects such as the Richmond Olympic Oval, the Kline Center at Dickinson College and the University Recreation Center at University of North Carolina Charlotte.
