Glass, glass, glass - this project is all about showcasing the facility's interior activities to those driving and walking by and providing users with maximum opportunities to look outside. 

Building transparency was also important to the University because the site is located at one of the main entrances to campus. Inside, the building is open with jogging and cardio space sharing the two levels at the front of the building. An activity room and offices round out the addition. Existing cardio space is transformed into a personal training studio with a spa-like atmosphere.
