Alico Arena Addition, Florida Gulf Coast University, Estero, FL

Following the 2014 success of “Dunk City”, Florida Gulf Coast University’s Men’s Basketball team’s run up to the Sweet Sixteen, the athletic department decided it was time to upgrade their athletic offices to be more in line with other D1 schools. After looking at options for renovations, it was determined that an addition was required. A schematic design was developed for an addition to Alico Arena, and included offices for the athletic staff connecting to the existing second floor offices, and study space for student athletes on the first floor. The design was well-received, finalized by Parker Mudgett Smith, who also carried out the project to fruition.
