KBE was the Construction Manager at Risk for the 10,406 sf timber-and-glass addition to the College’s Fitness Center, along with renovation of the existing 4,492 sf facility. The 2-story addition is constructed of glue-lam timber framing to match the existing facility, with a distinctive glass curtain wall and masonry facade. The new facility provides cardio and weight training options. Interior renovations to the existing facility include installation of a new sprung dance floor, wall finishes, and wall mirrors to support Pilates, dance, and spinning classes.

As the largest fitness facility in the province of Manitoba, the Active Living Centre can accommodate 2,000 patrons a day.

When the administrators of Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama began the process of adding a new recreation facility to the campus, it is unlikely they could have envisioned the unique end result they received. But thanks to the creative team at HOK Architects (formerly 360 Architects) and help from their own students, they can proudly say they have a one-of-a-kind facility – a 240,000 square-foot fitness complex featuring a winding, elevated, one-third of a mile indoor jogging/walking track complete with a corkscrew component that is the first of its kind in North America.

In partnership with Steph & Ayesha Curry, the Curry Family Foundation, Under Armour, Chase Bank, and others, we renovated the Carole Hoefener Center, a 40,000 square foot facility owned by the Charlotte Housing Authority, in advance of the 2019 NBA All-Star Game. As a legacy project for the Curry Family Foundation, the renovation featured a new lobby, new locker rooms, updated conference rooms and classrooms, the development of a first class catering kitchen, and the complete renovation and naming of “Curry Court”. The court was upgraded from a plastic, snap together court to a Connor Sports Flooring maple court with custom logo, new Under Armour scoreboards, custom murals, and more.
