Syracuse University opened the Carmelo K. Anthony Basketball Center in September 2009. The specialized practice facility was designed specifically for players and coaches of the school’s basketball programs, outfitted with amenities for film study, weight training, team practices and areas devoted to study halls. The state-of-the-art facility also houses the Syracuse Basketball Hall of Fame.
“Both men’s and women’s programs hold their practices, training sessions and study halls here, as well as unscheduled individual workouts, so the building stays open virtually all the time. To fit the hectic needs of the facility, we sought out materials that would last and require low maintenance,” said Teresa Crooke, interior designer, Syracuse University Campus Planning, Design and Construction.
By using a no-wax flooring option that reduces VOC emissions and improves indoor air quality, Syracuse University is showing its commitment to using environmentally responsible materials in their buildings. “Sustainability is a campus-wide initiative for us in all of our athletic facilities,” added Peter Sala, Senior Associate Director of Athletics for Facilities Syracuse University.
“The flooring doesn’t require any waxing, reducing the
amount of time we have to spend on maintenance.”
