The 115,000 SF, $45M Hackley School new Walter C. Johnson Center for Health and Wellness provides a new home for its exceptional physical education and athletics programs, as well as an expanded platform upon which the School’s important initiatives in Health and Wellness can continue to grow. It is a multifaceted facility that includes venues for swimming, wrestling, fencing, basketball, squash, fitness, nutrition, and education. This LEED Gold complex features biophilic and sustainable design features that fit gracefully with its natural woodland surroundings, including electrochromic glass, solar arrays, and a stormwater drainage system with cascading waterfalls. The mezzanine level features a four-lane indoor track to allow for recreational jogging and team practices. The track moves in and out of the large gymnasium, crossing between two basketball court areas via a large truss “bridge” through the space. A movable curtain hangs from below the bridge to separate the space when needed for physical education classes. Utilizing the site’s natural topography allowed for natural daylight and views from all spaces. The project achieved LEED Gold certification.
