James Madison University, Convocation Center
No items found.
Previously the home of James Madison University’s (JMU) basketball programs, the vacated Convocation Center presented a unique opportunity to update and improve the overall experience of several sport programs spread across multiple facilities.
The renovated design transformed the building into a multi-purpose hub for 200 athletes across eight sport programs, with spaces dedicated to support their academic and athletic excellence. New amenities include locker rooms, coaches’ offices, academic advising, sports medicine, strength and conditioning, equipment services and meeting rooms that are arranged around the perimeter of the building.
The renovated facility boosts the day-to-day efficiency of operations and serves as an integral recruiting tool, complete with customized furniture, graphics, and a subtle, but unmistakable color palette. It also promotes synergy and connection between programs and fosters a sense of unity and camaraderie among student-athletes. The design pays homage to the history of the building by keeping the distinctive and timeless features and restoring it back to its original function—a field house for many sports—while anticipating needs for the future.

"I think where we may see the most improvement with our new facility is the number of fans that we’re going have coming to games because they’re going love the experience."
