Behind the greatest moments of sports, iconic plays, and championships are countless hours of training to optimize athlete performance and overall team health. Athletes train and perform in spaces that are made possible by the work of architects, engineers, contractors, and building operators. Teamwork is essential to success in sports and Design-Build construction teams alike. Bring your curiosity and explore the various aspects of design and construction needed to make facilities like the University of Washington’s new basketball training facility possible.
