Center Bronx, New York
1986
This state of the art athletic
facility
serves as an informal gathering place
on the medical school campus where
students can decompress with
colleagues and faculty in a
recreational setting. The vaulted, skylit
entrance is set along the walk
between the residential buildings and
the academic campus, inviting access
throughout the day and night. The
central social space serves as a
meeting place and for watching
squash, racquetball, basketball
and jogging. One can also access
the ‘wet’ side for swimming, whirlpool,
steam bath or sauna.
There are organized leagues in many
sports as well as individual athletic
and recreational opportunities. All
activities within this steel frame, brick
clad building are totally accessible to
the physically handicapped.
