University of California-Irvine, Anteater Recreation Center (ARC) Expansion

American School & University Magazine's current issue has a useful project report on the new University of California-Irvine, Anteater Recreation Center (ARC) Expansion.

The ARC expansion provides 20,000 more assignable square feet for a weightroom, and classrooms for dance and martial arts. It also includes a contemporary fitness/wellness center, physical-therapy rooms, a body-composition system to measure body fat, and cutting-edge technology for cardiovascular and metabolic analysis. . . . Redefining agrarian for the 21st century, the design team created a modern “farm” building with steel trusses, pitched roofs, and split-face concrete block and glass. Classrooms have sprung floors and mirrored walls.
