Walker Fieldhouse, <br />Hutton Arena Renovation · St. Paul, MN <br /> <br />Completion date: 1997 (Walker) · 1998 (Hutton) <br />Total square footage: 150,000 g.s.f. <br />Total overall costs: $7.95 million <br />Construction time frame: Fall 1996 - Fall 1997 (Walker) <br />. May 1997 - May 1998 (Hutton) <br />Project designer: BWBR Architects <br />Project manager: Steve Erickson <br />Principal in charge: Jay Sleiter <br /> <br />· The 72,000 s.f. Lloyd W. D. Walker Fieldhouse runs the full length of, and <br />creates a link between, the renamed Hutton Arena, pool building, and student <br />center. The connection of these spaces created, in effect, a new "University <br />center" for Hamline that provides for social functions as well as athletic and <br />fitness opportunities. <br /> <br />The new fieldhouse's arched roof form - historic Hutton's "icon"- is <br />respectfully echoed by an arched glass opening that visually connects the <br />two structures, as does their matching brick and brick detailing. <br /> <br />The new fieldhouse also creates a home and identity for the athletic department <br />and accommodates the needs of recreation and athletic practices for tennis, <br />track, baseball, softball, basketball, volleyball, gymnastics, racquetball, running/ <br />jogging, strength and fitness training, and a competition-class pool. <br /> <br />The accompanying renovation of Hutton Arena provides an air-conditioned <br />home for varsity basketball and volleyball, as well as a new wood Roor, <br />renovated bleachers, lockers, concession and lounge area. <br /> <br />24 i Proposal for Architectural and Engineering Services 1 Elk River YMCA i January 2007 <br />
