COLLEGIATE TRAINING + PRACTICE FACILITIES

RETURN ON DESIGN™APPROACHExperts at creating next level sports architecture, ROSSETTI founded Return on DesignTM as a strategic design approach to engage clients and their projects beyond the typical form and function conversation.

By understanding the investment and potential outcomes of each project, the RODTM model bridges the gap between market, financial feasibility studies and architectural design. It frees team owners, sponsors and investors alike from questioning the merits and cost/benefits of our design and program. Ever focused on experience and value, we customize every project to its market, target users, context and drivers to innovate at the core and from the start of each project.

“ROSSETTI is refreshing to work with. Most architects tell you what you should do from a superior point of view. They aren’t like most architects. We were brought along as partners in the design.” CAROL ANDERSON | DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION | CITY OF TROY

ROSSETTI repurposed this former high school to offer diverse, multi-generational community programming. Hundreds of classes, space for corporate meetings, community gatherings and senior center activities are all housed under this one roof. Separate entrances allow different groups to come and go, but connect with one common space.

TROY COMMUNITY CENTERTROY | MICHIGAN

BGSU had a tight budget of $36MM to create a new basketball-oriented multi-purpose facility. ROSSETTI was the only architect that rose to the challenge and created an iconic facility at the gateway to campus. We partnered with the client to stay on budget without sacrificing design. Comfortable and activated hospitality areas, such as clubs, lounges and concourses, create a lively environment to enhance social connectivity. Donor contributions were programmed into the facility creating special opportunities for a Hall of Fame and practice court. The facility is certified LEED Gold.

The Downtown Boxing Gym Youth Program aims to create a safe and productive space for Detroit kids from the toughest neighborhoods.

Aligning with the organization’s mission, the facility functions first and foremost as an academic and civic structure, with athletics as a secondary component. Located on Detroit’s East side, it provides a safe and engaging community space for students and their families.

ROSSETTI’s master plan created a dedicated training facility for student athletes as an expansion of the Ryder Center. The new attached field house features a 300-meter indoor track with a synthetic infield for baseball, softball, football and soccer practice. The year after the facility was completed, SVSU Football signed every realistic prospect they were interested in recruiting. Additionally, the new surface of the track has led to four Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) records at the 2015 Championship and set one NCAA record.

The Hynes Athletic Center was outdated and in need of improvements and updated amenities for student athletes. The design goals for the new facility are to integrate individual user experiences into a cohesive whole while elevating the College’s recruitment program and enhancing the lifestyle of the student athlete. ROSSETTI’s design will include a Hall of Excellence, addition of a practice court and an arena expansion. The design will be executed in three phases to meet the college’s funding objectives.

Part of the collegiate project also includes a new softball field, renovation of the baseball field, and a renovated ticket center. Lounge spaces encourage socializing and student meetings.

After a number of studies, conceptual design workshops, and a lower bowl seating renovation, ROSSETTI was hired to complete facility upgrades of the Breslin Center concourse and concessions, as well as the design of a new addition. The addition will create an iconic space, connecting to the main concourse and housing a full-service club, Hall of History, retail store and new ticket office.

EAST LANSING | MICHIGANMICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY BRESLIN CENTER

ROSSETTI completely transformed this arena in several distinct phases. By removing the decades-old coverings on the original arched window openings, the arena went from a dark hockey barn to a bright, modern arena while retaining its historic feel. The renovation also included a dramatic face lift to the concourse and premium amenities. ROSSETTI renovated and repurposed 16 Champions Boxes from former offices as well as the arena’s East Club. The unique “Ice Box” is a corner platform used for corporate entertaining or sold with four tops.

“We have the best atmosphere in all of collegiate hockey. With these new seats + improvements, I believe it can even be more exciting.” RED BERENSON| HEAD HOCKEY COACH | UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN

“A facility like this allows the community to become stronger. It’s a dream come true.” HENRY MITTELSTAEDT | CHAIR | NORTH OAKLAND YMCA

This facility is designed to augment other Oakland County YMCA facilities, and better serve community needs.

This building was the first in the state to use a Terra Cotta rain screen – a progressive approach to using sustainable materials to help the building breathe.

NORTH OAKLAND YMCAAUBURN HILLS | MICHIGAN

MIAMI | FLORIDAFLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIV. R. KIRK LANDON FIELDHOUSE

As part of an aggressive plan to elevate Florida International University’s varsity athletics, ROSSETTI developed a master plan and conducted a comparative facilities analysis to expand and renovate the existing stadium and training facilities. The new football headquarters of the Golden Panthers is located adjacent to the stadium. The 50,000sf field house serves as an excellent recruitment tool highlighting a comprehensive training facility, Hall of Fame and state-of-the-art locker rooms. Administrative offices open onto an outdoor deck that is used for recruiting and game-day suites.

This multi-use arena is host to University convocations, men’s and women’s NCAA basketball, collegiate volleyball and concerts. The facility’s main attraction is the extensive two-story glass-walled main lobby that encourages social interactions before and after events. The facility was carefully integrated into the athletic campus and is located adjacent to the football field in order to expand the training facility access.

“What struck me about ROSSETTI is that they were listening rather than talking. They understood our goals for the Convocation Center + its relationship to the rest of the campus.” TIM WEISNER | FORMER ATHLETIC DIRECTOR | EASTERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY

YPSILANTI | MICHIGANEASTERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY CONVOCATION CENTER

The design followed a generous gift by Alumnus Terry Rhodes to support an endowment for the women’s tennis program. Direct access to each court is provided via a center walkway between the courts. The spectator grandstands and concourse are placed inside of the courts rather than outside them. This design creates four feature courts rather than the traditional two end-court design. Fans are never more than 60 feet from any of the six college match courts.
