Sallie Tiernan Field House, Scripps College

Claremont, California

Client: Scripps College

Moule & Polyzoides designed an athletic facility, pool, and an adjacent soccer field for Scripps College as part of a decades-long partnership. The new 30,000 square-foot field house accommodates recreational and social use by Scripps students and faculty. The building includes spaces for aerobics, yoga, weightlifting, and cardiovascular machines in addition to locker rooms, team rooms, and meeting areas. Its light-filled entry, ample public space, generous finishes, and expansive views make it an important student amenity as well as a popular campus destination. The field house is on axis with a new east-west allée, which connects the new structure to the campus’s lush and historic open space network.
