University of California at Los Angeles Located at the heart of the campus at the intersection
of Bruin Walk and Westwood Plaza, the new Morgan Center Intercollegiate
Athletic Department and Hall of Fame celebrates the tremendous reputation
of UCLA's athletic program and will serve as the starting point for all
campus tours. Designed to complete the fourth corner of this heavily trafficked
intersection, the new building also rationalizes various pedestrian sequences
and reinforces the existing landscape: a new two-story entry to the building
is on axis with Bruin Plaza and the grand stair of the Ackerman Student
Center to the west. The renovation of the existing building and a 40,000
square foot, three-story addition allowed for an increase in office space
for coaching and administrative staff on the upper two levels and improved
resources for student athletes and expanded media and conferencing facilities
and Hall of Fame on the first floor. The choice of materials on the building's
exterior reflects an abstraction of the architectural vocabulary of the
historic campus while the building's massing visually redefine the horizontality
of the campus. List
