Boston College - has a place of prominence in my work as it was the first Collegiate recreation complex I built. In March of 1970 the athletic director, Bill Flynn asked me if I would do a study for him on this building. 365 days later we swam in his new pool. From inception to completion in 12 months for a complex structure was a landmark operation. It was the first structure of its kind ever built. The structure was built over a former deep reservoir and was supported on concrete filled steel piles. The building had 72,000 sq.ft. of gross area and included a 25yd 8 lane pool with separate diving well It also contained 8 racquet courts, lockers for 1,500 users, a 4 lane 2,200 yd track, 6 tennis/basketball courts and a spectator deck over the fieldhouse and pool. Two years later we added another 42,250 sq.ft. consisting of 6 squash courts and 4 basketball /tennis courts.
