Oregon State University Dixon Student Recreation Center Expansion

Director Recreational Sports Oregon State University
Tom Kirch and his staff at Oregon State run one of the top collegiate recreation programs in the United States, and for years, they had been doing it with outdated and inadequate facilities. However, in 2004, an amazing renovation and expansion of the Dixon Center created new recreation opportunities for students, faculty and staff.
SportsPLAN Studio has assisted YGH Architects throughout the project as programming and recreational sports consultant. Along the way, we have developed fitness equipment lists and plan layouts, provided climbing gym planning services and creating specifications and specialized details for sports surfaces and equipment. Our attention to these details have helped to make the Dixon Center a real showcase for Oregon State.
