The University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS) is flexing considerable creative muscle to build a $61-million complex that integrates sports medicine and performance with academics. The scope of activity will range from exercise science and physical therapy to physiology and conditioning.
“Think of it as exercise as medicine,” says Paul Whitson, senior principal with St. Louis-based HOK, design architect for the four-story, 104,600-sq-ft UCCS William J. Hybl Sports Medicine Performance Center. It is scheduled to be completed this spring under a design-build arrangement with Colorado Springs RTA as the architect-of-record and JE Dunn Construction as general contractor and construction manager.
