Award Of Merit Higher Education/Research: Chandler-Gilbert Community College Coyote Center
After a budget crunch caused a cancellation of an athletics-only facility, the Maricopa Community College District tasked the construction team to build a multipurpose facility. The resulting $21.6-million, 75,000-sq-ft Coyote Center serves as a front door to the college, a gathering space for locals and home of the athletic department.
Features include a student services area, 10,000-sq-ft gymnasium, fitness center, formal classrooms, event spaces as well as wellness facilities.
