The state-of-the-art Recreation Center consolidates the UWO Mustangs basketball, hockey, and business operations – all under one roof. Abbott led the programming and construction management for the facility and was charged by the senior management to fast-track the design and construction process – to elevate the culture within the organization and provide an exceptional student experience. The heart of the building features two full-sized courts, built to create a game-day environment for students.
Upon the successful completion of the project, the ground floor held all of the player-related spaces, including dedicated training and treatment suites, multiple student amenity areas, a commercial kitchen, and a full-service weight training facility – a menu of amenities very few Recreation Centers aspire to in the area.
