My thesis focuses on designing a sports complex geared towards mentoring and encouraging young kids in athletics and opening their eyes to future opportunities. Many children today enjoy participation in sports, but society puts so much pressure on performance that the fun of learning and competing is lost. The goal of this project is to create a space that builds character by supporting relationships between athletes, parents, and coaches. In order to succeed in these goals, this project asks the question: how can intentional design influence the people interacting with the built environment? Can a building help foster relationships? This complex would be structured to support kids of all backgrounds regardless of sport, ability, or socioeconomic status. The master plan includes facilities for multiple disciplines including Special Olympics, non sport specific team building activities, as well as spaces to connect with other athletes and coaches. Overall, the center will be used as a vehicle to make a positive impact on the future of our youth.
