I like that rendering also. I can see where the outdoor seating of the club area is similar to what I have seen at other places. A field view would allow us to see the possibility of Non-club seating in front of that.

“Faculty Club”? Is there one now somewhere?
I think this is a great idea and is needed.

It looks great. I just hope it doesn't block the view of Howard's Knob from our seats in 111.

I’d like to see how it fits with the east and west stands, let’s plan ahead to make sure the stadium flows, something we’ve never done.

Completely agree. There needs to be space retained in front of the club seating for future seating to match the lower portions of the east and west stands. A concourse should also connect the east and west concourses. Let’s make sure we think long term with this great project!

As someone else mentioned, I hope the new architecture more closely resembles the existing look of the West-side athletics center rather than the California-contemporary look we’re seeing in the rendering. We need to unify the look as much as possible.

Your not going to make everyone happy... but that picture does not go with anything in or around the stadium ? Not a fan of that design at all.
It needs to be something timeless and not trendy ....See avacado green toilets and harvest gold tubs from the seventies.

Love the overall idea - just not a fan of contemporary architechture for this project. The problem with contemporary is the "temporary" part. It looks cool......until it looks dated.

This thing needs to stand the test of time.

Agree, would be in favor of brick and natural rock from the Apppalachian mountains on front facade. Needs to fit natural surrounds and say this is “The Rock”.

I like the rendering..
I mentioned in a post on this topic about two months ago that every effort would be made to make this a part of Appalachian's participation in the UNC-BOG's Millennial Campus. Among the plusses for this approach is to acquire a state-of-the-art facility using a combination of public and private funding for planning and construction of a critical-need facility that will eventually provide new revenue streams for athletics WHILE INVOLVING NO-ZERO-ZILCH STUDENT FEES. WTG, Doug Gillin!

Looks like George Jetson was in the room. Hope reality is more like West side facility.

This is not a complaint but an observation: why and what is the difference between the "athletic training room" (proper description) and a "sports medicine room" (no idea what that could be).

I ask because I was a student trainer many moons ago when Owens was initially enlarged/renovated, and I'm an athletic trainer now.
We don't slide at Appalachian State. It's a sign of weakness.

There is going to be an area in the new facility that will have lab and testing equipment for the HES (Health and Exercise Science) Dept of the College of Health Sciences to perform sports science testing on the student athletes. More than likely this is what was being referred to.

Thanks; that explanation makes sense.

The new rendering is cool if we played out west. I personally would like to see consistency with the rest of the stadium.

On this month’s “Ask the AD” on appstatesports.com, Gillin said that the rendering isn’t even final considering that they have yet to even hire the actual Architect who will carry out the final design. Everyone just take a deep breath.

I think some of you need to realize that buildings/additions can fit in and match their surroundings without looking exactly the same.

Copying the west stands into the north end zone would essentially give us Carolina's blue zone i.e. a giant rectangular pile of Image


It quite literally is the architectural equivalent of a mullet, tired old neoclassical arches up front and football bleachers in the back. No thanks.
