The Allen N. Reeves Football Operations Complex at Clemson University is a world-class facility with the student-athlete experience considered in every space. Guests, students and athletes enter the facility through the Hall of Tradition, which includes equipment displays and the Orange Experience viewing room, before continuing through the concourse to several additional spaces. GMC served as the Architect of Record with HOK as Sports Design Consultant.
The Athlete Concourse includes the “hill,” which serves as the primary link between the lobby and level two. This vertical circulation is composed of stairs embedded within a turf ramp emulating the “hill” of the football stadium. The Athlete Concourse serves as the central hub between the player’s locker room, Sports Performance Zone, equipment area and first-floor lobby.
The Players’ Lounge includes a two-lane bowling alley, a slide from the second to the first floor, lounge furniture and games. The lounge has double-height glass exposure to the south façade with an operable Nana Wall system spanning approximately 60 feet that allows the space to open to the exterior amenities.
The sports medicine area is located on the first level and occupies approximately 12,000 square feet. It includes wet space for hydrotherapy, taping and treatment, office and conference space and an open area for turf.
Outdoor amenities for the complex are located to the south of the building with direct access from the Players’ Lounge. Major components include a pool with an outdoor kitchen and barbecue area, a 40,000-square-foot area for yard games, a covered half basketball court, a volleyball court and miniature golf course.
