University of Miami gets a new athletic center

Students at the University of Miami walk past the newly constructed Schwartz Center for Athletic Excellence in Coral Gables, Florida.

AECOM completed architectural design for the $14.7 million athletic center encompassing 34,000 square feet. Spaces included design of entry lobby, hall of fame display, a brand-new football locker room donated by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as well as a state-of-the-art academic center that includes computers, study rooms and a 140-seat auditorium. An academic office and compliance office are also on the second floor. The facility includes sports medicine and sports training areas, which contain an anti-gravity treadmill to rehabilitate lower extremity injuries.
