Gensler, Mortenson Complete University of Washington’s 36,000-SF Basketball Facility
Gensler, in collaboration with the University of Washington, Mortenson, and other partners, has completed the university’s new 36,000-square-foot Men’s and Women’s Intercollegiate Athletics Basketball Training Facility.
“Gensler is thrilled to celebrate the completion of the UW Basketball Training Practice Facility—a project that embodies our deep commitment to elevating both women’s and men’s athletics,” said Francesly Sierra, Project Manager at Gensler.
The cutting-edge athletic center includes two 9,800-square-foot practice courts. The $60 million facility was entirely donor-funded, with more than $1 million contributed by legendary Husky basketball alumni. Strategically designed, the new facility connects the floor level of Alaska Airlines Arena at Hec Edmundson Pavilion to the Graves Annex Strength and Conditioning space.
“This project represents the very best of what can be achieved when collaboration, innovation, and purpose come together,” added Jennifer Kim, Project Executive at Mortenson.
