Fresh Approaches to Higher Ed Spaces

VCBO Architecture is providing design and construction administration services for a student activity center addition to the Stromberg Athletic Complex at Weber State University. The University has grown fast and needs recreation spaces that can accommodate demand and provide comparable facilities to other Universities. The fresh approach to the remodeled Stromberg student activity and athletic center pays close attention to the University's brand as a part of the design. The project includes student exercise spaces, locker rooms, administration offices, a suspended running track, and a pedestrian bridge to link the Stromberg Athletic Complex together with the new Student Activity Center. The new construction and retrofitted spaces comprise approximately 60,000 square feet with a budget of $9,200,000.00. The Weber State Wildcat Center for Health, Education, and Wellness is a 30,000 SF addition to the existing Stromberg Complex Health and Physical Education Center. This two-story addition houses the Campus Recreation program and student recreation spaces (two fitness studios, an open fitness space, and locker rooms). The project also includes a pedestrian bridge linking the existing Stromberg and Swenson Complex, as well as a suspended running track inside the Stromberg Arena.
