James Devlin Gym Project

We chose this location for the gym because of it's close proximity to Philadelphia, and the amount of space available. It is within walking distance of many forms of public transportation and has parking spaces available. The building's also include amenities such as running water, electricity, and air conditioning. The gym is a combination of four buildings. one is 1 story, 2 are two stories, and 1 is 4 stories.

In this sketch above, we brainstorm all the things that we could put in this building and thinking of what are the most important things to get the gym running great for everybody.

The first floor of our gym includes a daycare off to the far right, a pool, 2 locker rooms, an office area, and the usual workout area. We wanted a daycare because many adults can't find time or the money to be able to go to the gym and also make sure their kids are being taken care of. The pool is a great way to exercise and their are many rehabilitative exercises that could be done in there as well.

The second floor includes storage area on the far left. As well as some examination tables and ice baths for recovery. There is also a sauna for relaxation. This floor also includes batting cages for baseball and softball. And finally there is a classroom for classes or lectures.

The third floor includes a basketball court for rec games. This can also be turned into an area for indoor soccer.

The fourth and final floor includes a turf area for various sports or workouts. It also includes yoga mats and yoga balls for stretching.
