Goucher needed to change its athletic facilities when it shifted from an all-women's school to a coed institution. Ayers/Saint/Gross looked at renovation and expansion possibilities taking into consideration the needs and vision of the College. After presenting a number of options, the College decided to add a completely new athletic center adjacent to the existing gymnasium.

The facility provides:

• Main field house with initial seating for 600, with the capacity to double that number
• Main court and two overlaying courts
• Four racquetball and two squash courts with spectator seating
• General, team, and visitor locker rooms for men and women
• Training, weight, and multi-purpose rooms
• Administrative, class, and wellness facilities
• Storage and laundry

The center is designed to be architecturally compatible with the historic Goucher campus.

Completion: 1990
Size: 50,000 gsf
Cost: $5.5 million
