Project Overview

The Arizona State University (ASU) Sun Devil Fitness Complex (SDFC) in Downtown Phoenix is a five-story, 73,800-square-foot student recreation center. It includes an indoor track, rooftop swimming pool, a two-court gymnasium, state-of-the-art weight and fitness room, multi-purpose studios for mind/body classes, student lounge, a multi-purpose area for student clubs, bike co-op and locker rooms. The complex also houses Exercise and Wellness, an academic program in ASU鈥檚 College of Health Solutions.聽51国产视频 finished the project under budget and 26 days early to coincide with move-in day for the 2013 fall semester.

With a 25-yard pool on the roof and a 23-month duration for design, permitting and construction, this $20 million structure required imaginative design and construction techniques to maintain quality in the face of demanding schedules and budget limitations. The 570,000-pound rooftop pool is located directly above a mechanical platform that houses the pool鈥檚 filtration, pumping and heating equipment. The stainless steel shell was more than 125 tons lighter than a double concrete shell. In addition, the pool shell and its piping are visible for inspection and accessible for maintenance.

The facility not only provides a much needed 鈥渟ense of place鈥 for ASU Downtown students, it is a key contributor to the revitalization of downtown Phoenix. 聽Sun Devil Fitness Complex shares a zero lot-line urban property with the Historic Lincoln Family Downtown YMCA, and students and members share much of the facility through a property sharing and operations agreement.聽 This arrangement allowed a major facelift to portions of the YMCA, increased energy and operational efficiencies, while providing parking and other amenities for ASU, which were not possible without the cooperative arrangement.聽 It was truly a community-based solution and a win-win for both the university and the YMCA.
