The goal of this research is to recenter the needs of the athlete when it comes to the design of training facilities and question how this form of architecture can be optimized. To continue to increase the effectiveness and value of architecture, new approaches must be taken in how spaces are designed. By looking into other spheres of knowledge such as mental wellness and sports psychology, more information is gained that can influence a new design protocol that be implemented into this building type. These solutions will provide incentives for these massive teams and organizations to seek an architect that is well versed in this area of design. Athletes will have a higher likelihood of staying where their needs are prioritized and feeling valued can help with overall wellness and performance. This can demonstrate how something seemingly insignificant such as a building’s design in relation to athletic performance can cause a chain reaction that provides people with their desired outcome of success.
