University of Tampa | Bob Martinez Athletics Center
The new BMAC included: The Sword and Shield Room with two iconographic sculptures. We provided design and construction documents for a 45’ tall sword with internal LED lighting that is bisected by the building envelope with half on the exterior and the other half in the Sword and Shield Room interior. Complementing this is a 24’ diameter Shield incorporated into the 30’ high ceiling features.
The interior and exterior of the Bob Martinez Athletics Center were re-designed and remodeled. The project involved the creation of a second story study lounge, a new lobby, bathrooms, concession stands, and locker rooms. The lobby renovation included a structural renovation to provide day-lighting in the form of skylights. The study lounge addition was a two-story space connected by a uniquely designed stair; made of stainless steel, glass, and wood that incorporates a study center.
