Clarkson College Intramural Center - was built in 1979 to replace an aging facility on the campus. It has a gross area of 57,800 sq.ft. with spans of 130'. The structure contains 4 basketball/tennis courts inside an 1/8 mile track. All surfaces in the field house are poured urethane. There are 6 squash/racquet courts and an 8 lane 25 yd pool. The building has minimal finishes with carpet on the lobby floor and non-slip rubber tile in corridors. Side walls are insulated pre-cast concrete unpainted. The roof structure is heavy timber.

Clarkson University Cheel Center - had made an attempt to build a new hockey rink and combine it with a student center but were unable to do so for their budget of $10,500,000.00. They asked us to review their process and to look at the possibility of our design to help them achieve their goal. We studied their program and evolved such a building which was completed for $10,600,000.00 including a $300,000.00 natural gas driven engine-generator that was used to provide power to the rink and to spin off surplus power to the campus grid. The waste heat from the generator has been used to heat the building entirely. The acquisition costs of the generator have been repaid in two and one half years (2.5yrs). The building was constructed in 10 months and has been a most successful combination of the two uses of Student Center and Hockey arena seating 3,200.
