RECREATION CENTERS: OUR INTEGRATED DESIGN APPROACH
LPA’s unique integrated design for recreation centers places the client in the center fostering participation and direct interaction with the multi-disciplinary team of specialists. With all the experts in-house working together from the very beginning, the result is an efficient process of fluid communication which minimizes cost while maximizing quality. Architecture

The exterior envelope responds to program elements and views of the Bay, creating a semi-opaque “box” (gym) and a transparent glass “jewel” (fitness). The main organizing space, the lounge, is an environment flooded with natural light, serving as a transition between the box and the jewel. This space is further emphasized by the light monitor that floods the interior with natural light. The glass jewel is protected with a perforated aluminum veil, minimizing direct sunlight while maintaining views.

The tilt-up panels, used for the box which forms the exterior skin and structure, also possess great thermal mass qualities. Glazing placed in front of the panels, effectively create a solar thermal collector (trombe wall) to heat the interior space. The Util-1 shows that the building performance is 29% better than Title 24 requirements.
CSU EAST BAY RECREATION & WELLNESS CENTER
Tilt-up concrete used as exterior skin matches the campus context and provides thermal mass. A “kit-of-parts” system was developed for construction of the major systems. The interiors follow a “do more with less” approach where structure becomes finish ceiling; concrete slabs and walls are exposed, and passive systems are displayed.

CSU EAST BAY RECREATION & WELLNESS CENTER
The two-story recreation center, organized about a campus “Living Room,” is meant as an extension of the courtyard with operable doors and seat wall, welcoming students and engaging them in a holistic approach to their education. With sustainability as a driving force in the design of the building and its systems, this project is the first building on the Sonoma Campus to use the LEED rating system as a guideline for design.

The building’s two-story volume features the exposed glu-lam beams and wood T&G ceiling, natural slate floor and wood sheathed pavilion at the check-in desk enhancing the sustainable features of the project.

Natural light was maximized throughout the building using translucent skylights, clerestory glazing and vision-glass windows improving the overall lighting quality of spaces while reducing the load on artificial systems.
Located at the heart of the athletics quad, this three-story iconic building is funded by student fees. It will provide state-of-the-art technology in the areas of health and fitness including but not limited to three-court gymnasium, one Multi-Activity-Court (MAC), 16,000 sf of weight and fitness space, five multi-purpose rooms for aerobics, martial arts, spinning and dance, a rock climbing wall, and a 6,500 sf lap and recreational pool with showers and lockers.

The project’s mission is to upgrade the athletics facilities to create an exciting and lively place to see and be seen where students can work out and relax in a sustainable design. The existing Shower / Locker Building will be remodeled to house the new fitness facility, with a weight room and two multi-purpose rooms for aerobics, spinning, and dance classes. The new gymnasium will provide state-of-the-art technology in the areas of health and fitness. The project will also include site improvements such as enhanced paving at the entrances and landscaping in the courtyard between the two buildings. Eight new tennis courts with fencing and lighting will complete the athletic facilities.
