Commissioned by the U.S. Coast Guard Alumni Association, LLB renovated an existing building at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in New London, CT. The renovations reactivated an underutilized space by converting existing racquetball courts into a Strength and Conditioning Center. It used the existing space more efficiently by opening up to the adjacent corridor, and relocating existing program elements such as the equipment and fueling stations. The open concept space allows for more lifting equipment and provides training space for the football team in a single space. The new mezzanine level provides new program elements such as a warm-up area with cardio equipment, medicine ball area, and a sled track. The creation of new exterior openings allows natural light to flood the space and take advantage of the structure's proximity to the Thames River with expansive water views. Renovations also reorient the building on the campus through the creation of a new entry sequence providing a new entry canopy, glass storefront, and a re-clad building envelope.
