Beardsley Design Associates - Portfolio - Schwartz Athletic Center

In October of 2004 Wells College Trustees in Aurora, NY announced that in the fall of 2005 it would admit male students for the first time since its founding in 1868. To help them prepare their facilities for the new demands this would create, Wells College enlisted the services of Beardsley Design Associates.

One of the first buildings identified as needing attention was the athletic facility, Schwartz Athletic Center. Built in 1956 and added onto in 1979 the building required extensive alterations, improved accessibility, and accommodations for male students. BDA worked closely with the college and their selected construction firm through a design build process which addressed these needs.
