The Texas A&M facility, lightheartedly called the Taj Mahal by A&M's envious peers, is one of the nation's largest, just right for one of the most extensive and active campus recreation programs in America. The Sports Management Group served as program refinement and design consultants for the project team led by Marmon Mok Architects. Associate, Rick Hall was involved in every aspect of planning and start-up, and currently manages operations and maintenance as Director of Facilities for the Department of Recreational Sports.

The design team created a unique and elegant solution in a surprisingly short period of just three months with a series of intensive user group workshops. The initial concept was developed during an exciting three-day weekend rural retreat involving the entire campus recreational sports staff and University Facility Planning staff with focused attention, through a wide range of conceptual alternatives.
