The new Ryan Fieldhouse and Walter Athletics Center, on the campus of Northwestern University, was named 2018 Project of the Year by Engineering News-Record (ENR) Midwest at the magazine’s annual Best Project Awards event. Built by Walsh Construction and joint venture partner Barton Marlow, the $270 million project is consistently referred to as a "game changer" for Northwestern athletics. The versatility of the 420,000-square-foot complex makes it one of the premier sports centers in the Big Ten Conference and college athletics.
