Second Floor Plan

The 'Athletic Axis' extends upwards and above the ground floor to include specialized training functions such as weight training rooms. Overlooking both double gymnasiums, a central weight room will serve both student and visiting athletes, fully equipped with free weights and cross-training machines. In contrast, elite athletes will utilize the high performance training equipment of the adjacent varsity weight room that also overlooks the exterior athletic courtyard. A dedicated Coaching Centre provides a space for visiting coaches to work within the school and a space to hold individual or team meetings. Using the corridor system of the school, viewing gallery space is created over the competition gym to create a flexible zone of acceptable interface between students, visiting athletes and spectators. Also overlooking the gyms, a broadcast booth has been created for students with an interest in sports broadcasting and will also be used by coaches to record games for future review and scouting purposes.
