The Student-Athlete Performance Center was designed to elevate the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s reputation as having one of the finest intercollegiate athletics programs in the country. The project was complex; a multi-phased, multi-building, renovation-expansion to be integrated with existing facilities, and without disrupting the scheduling of varsity practices or football games.

Designed in association with Stantec (formerly VOA)

The project included the remodeling of significant areas of Camp Randall Stadium, an addition to the north end of Camp Randall, and the remodeling of and an addition to the adjacent McClain Center.

Following an intensive site analysis, the design team developed a solution to support both students and athletes. The design incorporated new training facilities, sports medicine, locker rooms, team lounges, and other athlete-support facilities within a compelling addition to Camp Randall Stadium and renovated space under the nearby indoor varsity training field house, known as the McClain Center.

The project included a new tunnel to the stadium field for the football team, as well as a scoreboard, artificial turf, and a translucent roof for the McClain Center.
A three-story addition to Camp Randall created a new grand entry linking the three facilities and features a hall of fame and celebratory “WOW” room, academic classrooms, study lounges, and faculty offices.

Rendered in brick, stone, and steel, with an arcaded façade modeled after a classic arena, the academic center communicates the primary importance of learning to students and parents.
