Fairfield University rendering
Fairfield, CT – Shawmut Design and Construction recently announced the beginning of construction on Fairfield University’s Leslie C. Quick, Jr. Recreation Complex (RecPlex). Shawmut’s work on the three-story recreational facility is a long-awaited update for the university’s community, encompassing an additional 12,000sf space to make fitness more accessible for students and staff.
Shawmut’s work on the 73,000sf space includes a two-story expansion with a new lounge and improved fitness and multipurpose spaces featuring a new upper-level mezzanine for cardio equipment.
To unite all recreational services, the team will create a main two-story entry hall connecting all three levels with an open staircase.
Shawmut will also complete renovations on the field house by replacing the flooring, adding an elevated indoor track, creating additional multipurpose rooms, and updating the pool locker rooms. The team will also perform lighting and acoustical improvements throughout the building.
Scheduled for completion in August 2016, the extensive renovation to the building will greatly expand fitness and athletic training space for the university’s community.
