Leonard J. Kaplan Center for Wellness at UNC Greensboro
The Leonard J. Kaplan Center for Wellness continues UNCG's planned growth and bookends the recent Spartan Village development. The new student recreation center consists of approximately 213,000 square feet of space in activity, support, and administrative areas. The building is organized on three-floor levels and has an unbelievably high transparency interior. The main concourse internally connects all the spaces on each level and is open from floor to floor to provide views both up and across the facility.
Detailed Floor Organization
- Level One: This level provides space for two gym courts, the natatorium with a 25Y x 25 M Lap Pool, a large Leisure Pool with a vortex, and the Outdoor Adventures suite with a climbing wall and bouldering wall.
- Level Two: This is the main entry level where patrons can access the administrative office suite, the main weights and fitness area, five of the seven gymnasium courts, cycling room, and racquetball courts.
- Level Three: This floor is filled with activity space including the three-lane 1/8-mile jogging track, multiple group exercise spaces, an outdoor rooftop exercise patio, and the personal training suite.
Structural and Architectural Design
The structural system is a combination of composite steel construction with a steel-braced frame lateral system and a cast-in-place concrete structure. Structural steel trusses and long-span steel joists were used throughout the roof construction due to the long spans. The natatorium area includes structural steel roof trusses with an exposed laminated wood roof deck. Designed in collaboration with Walter Robbs Callahan & Pierce Architects, PA, the facility's siting and location are in full compliance with and support of the master plan, strongly embracing the university’s sustainability principles.
