Arizona State University Student-Athlete Facility

The new Student-Athlete Facility, at Arizona State University, is designed to redefine the training facility experience and reset the performance expectations for the current student-athletes in a storied college football program. In creating the environmental graphics program, from super graphics to code signage, our team drew inspiration from the desert landscape of Arizona, using the actual topographic information of the region to create bold, routed, wood-feature walls. A significant discovery phase included spending time with the head coach and coaching staff to get a behind-the-scenes understanding of the team mantras and manifesto. ASU Athletics and the football staff were collaborative and provided all-access to each and every phase of the project. With their help, we were able to strategically and cohesively plan for many special details. Fully illuminated, dimensional team mantras and core values of the organization pepper the space, inspiring current athletes to perform their best, while larger than life Hall of Fame displays use direct-to-surface printed wood panels to honor the legacy of the past.
