Steven Holl designs a sports center based on football play diagrams
Architect Steven Holl, with senior partner Chris McVoy, plans the five-story, 48,000-square-foot Campbell Sports Center around a concept he calls "points on the ground, lines in space," echoing the diagrams coaches draw for football plays. Structural engineer Robert Silman Associates works out the building's angled frame on the tight corner site at West 218th Street and Broadway, the gateway to Columbia's Baker Athletics Complex.

Steven Holl's Campbell Sports Center opens as the gateway to Baker Field
Built from 2008 to 2012 at Broadway and West 218th Street, the five-story, 48,000-square-foot building by Steven Holl Architects, with partner Chris McVoy, holds training rooms, team offices and study space for Columbia athletes. The design grew from the idea of "points on the ground, lines in space," like the diagrams of plays on a field. Critic Michael Kimmelman called it tough and imaginative work on a devilish site.
