Campus Recreation is committed to enhancing educational experience and lifelong wellness through excellent recreation programs, services, and facilities. The Outdoor Adventures Center will enable Campus Recreation to accomplish its mission as well as promote the recruitment and retention of students by providing competitive recreation facilities on campus. The Outdoor Adventures Center is broken down into three components: Live, Work, and Play with each representing a different part of the program. These three components strive to deliver the mission of the Campus Recreation. Live refers to the area dedicated to education and healthy living. It comprises of office spaces, classroom space, shower and restroom facilities. Work is defined by the bike maintenance shop and equipment storage and workroom spaces. Play is the most dominate aspect and is manifested in the climbing spaces both indoors and out. The Outdoor Adventures Center will be instrumental in developing a bicycle friendly campus.

Jury Comments: Amazed at what was accomplished with such a low budget.  The building form is classic modernism and will look as relevant 50 years from now as it does today.
