Vanderbilt Olympic Sports Student Lounge

WBA met with Student Athletes to program a space that meets the needs of today’s Olympic Sports athletes on campus. The space is carved out of the David Williams II Student Recreation Center and is planned to be a home base for Vanderbilt’s Olympic Sports athletes, providing nutrition program and kitchenette, cafe seating, banquettes, media lounge, gaming, study spaces, and phone rooms to serve as a place to take Zoom interviews. The flexible lounge is future-proofed to support an E-Sports program, providing additional IT and AV space and pathways for future E-Sports rec programs. WBA provided programming, interior space planning, finishes, and FF+E Services, and coordinated the fit-out of the space between the University Athletics Department and the leadership of the University Rec Center.
