George Mason Univ. has selected architecture and design firm Perkins&Will to create at 30,000 square-foot basketball and academic performance center in addition to the existing Recreation Athletic Complex. The facility will be the new home for men's and women's basketball and will accommodate practice courts, player performance, training, support spaces, and staff offices for both programs. In addition, it will serve as the new academic services center, supporting over 500 student-athletes. Currently in preliminary design phases, the project is scheduled to open in early 2027. Perkins&Will's early plans include a "Living Design" framework that considers energy and water efficiencies, embodied and operational carbon reduction, accessibility, and spaces for personal wellness and regeneration. The project is currently targeting LEED Silver certification (George Mason).
