14 Jan 2012 Campbell Sports Center New York Steven Holl Architects’ Campbell Sports Center Tops Out New York, NY, January 13, 2012 — The Campbell Sports Center at Columbia University, designed by Steven Holl Architects, celebrated its topping out on January 11th. Located on the corner of West 218th street and Broadway in Manhattan, the Campbell Sports Center will form an inviting new gateway to the Baker Athletics Complex, the primary athletics facility for the University’s outdoor sports program. pictures from Steven Holl Architects The Campbell Sports Center aims at serving the mind, the body and the mind/body. The design concept “points on the ground, lines in space”—like field play diagrams used for football, soccer, baseball—develops from point foundations on the sloping site. Just as points and lines in diagrams yield the physical push and pull on the field, the building’s elevations push and pull in space. With the structural frame in place, one can already experience the space that will form a new entry to the athletics complex, and the large interior space and amazing views to the city and the fields that this new facility will provide. With construction two weeks ahead of schedule, the five-story, 48,000 square foot facility is scheduled to be completed for opening ceremonies in Fall 2012. 17 Oct 2011 Campbell Sports Center at Columbia University Steven Holl Architects’ Campbell Sports Center at Columbia University Starts Construction The Campbell Sports Center at Columbia University celebrated its groundbreaking on October 15th.

Just as points and lines in diagrams yield the physical push and pull on the field, the building’s elevations push and pull in space. External stairs, which serve as “lines in space,” and terraces extend the field play onto and into the building and give views from the upper levels over the Baker Athletics Complex and Manhattan with the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings in the distance. At night the building is up-lit with glowing light on its Columbia-blue aluminum soffits. Steven Holl states, “We are honored to collaborate with Dianne Murphy and Columbia Facilities in creating this new state of the art athletics facility. Its inviting architecture indicates the invigorating presence and future of intercollegiate athletics at Columbia University.” The Campbell Sports Center, a five-story, 48,000 square foot facility, will house strength and conditioning spaces, offices for varsity sports, an auditorium, a hospitality suite and student-athlete study rooms. The project, led by Steven Holl and senior partner Chris McVoy, is scheduled to open in fall 2012. pictures from Steven Holl Architects Campbell Sports Center at Columbia University images / information from Steven Holl Architects Campbell Sports Center design : Steven Holl Location: Baker Athletics Complex, 533 W 218, New York, NY 10034, United States Contact Baker Athletics Complex: (212) 942-0431
