Loftus All-Sports Building
University of Notre Dame
Notre Dame, Indiana

Notre Dame’s football and track programs are housed within the All-Sports Building.  Cost and speed of construction were of primary concerns, as the building had to be complete for the start of the football-training season. A full-size football field, indoor track, 7,700 sq. ft. weight room, 130-seat auditorium with custom-designed oversized seating and locker rooms are contained within the building.  Meyo field is a 100-yard long, 60-feet high artificial-turf field with end zones.  There are field markings for football, lacrosse and soccer.  There is also a netting system that can accommodate batting cages and practicing golfers. Based upon a standard, pre-engineered metal frame, the building is clad in face brick and "rock face" concrete block to fit the campus context.  The smaller building, containing the weight room and auditorium, fronts the campus, while the practice football facility is located so as to screen its bulk.
