Project Description:
Etched into Washington and Lee University’s mission statement is a commitment to help students prepare for lifelong positive journeys. In an exciting move, Washington and Lee renovated and expanded its Duchossois Athletic and Recreation Center as a means to unite its recreation, physical education and collegiate athletic programs. The result is a dynamic, cutting-edge space for students and staff.
Spanning five floors, the Duchossois Center offers remarkable resources, including leading-edge fitness areas, racquetball and squash courts, three gymnasiums, expanded multipurpose rooms for group exercise, locker space, and an athletic training facility, along with myriad spaces for athletic training. The building strategically reorganizes programming spaces to maximize all possible adjacencies and synergies for end-users.
The rejuvenated facility now serves as an exciting space for student life and wellness, a campus visual icon, and a tool for student and athlete recruitment and retention. The project empowers the university to help students live healthy lives for decades to come.
