Roberts Wesleyan University Voller Athletic Center Renovation

The Voller Athletic Center was renovated to reflect the school’s status as a NCAA Division II athletic program and to encourage athletes and the community to utilize the facility. The renovation consisted of a first floor corridor finish upgrade with changes to Physical Therapy, Athletic Stretching, and reconfiguration of Racquetball courts to a weight room.

The design energized previously underutilized spaces through the development of lounge areas with improved lighting and new graphics that reinforce the Redhawks brand. The unified and branded environment takes advantage of a long corridor and repurposes it into a ‘perch’ where students can work or eat while watching a game in the gym. Athletic wood floor planks from the former gym were repurposed as a design element down the corridor, separating the Roberts Athletic wallcoverings. Seating zones within the corridor visually connect the gymnasium and the Lounge with a custom display to showcase Roberts’ athletics history.

A conference room was converted to a team film room with tiered seating and a media wall. The café was converted into a cardio room. Treadmills and other equipment offer views out to the athletic fields.
