Glenville State College – Waco Center

Prior to merging with Pickering Associates in 2016, Associated Architects was selected to design the new WACO Center at Glenville State College. This 115,000 square foot project is a combination of an athletic facility, classrooms, and an urgent care facility. It was designed to mesh with the unique topography of the site to minimize the amount of cutting and filling of material. The elevation of the site dropped off significantly from one side to the other, and this was incorporated into the design: the basketball court floor is at a level eighteen feet below the entrance, giving the dramatic “bowl” effect upon entering.
