Project Description

• The 455,000-sf TRACK at new balance draws elite athletes from all around the world and offers a rare combination of world-class athletic opportunities.
• The centerpiece of the building is its hydraulic track, which is among the fastest in the world, supports multiple simultaneous events, and can transform during the offseason into venues for in-season sports.
• The building assembles a collection of specialty spaces where the latest performance strategies and technologies can be explored and tested.
• Located at ground level, Roadrunner is a 42,000-sf nighttime concert venue. The year-round flexibility of the fieldhouse and the mix of sports and entertainment make the building self-sustaining.

Project Description

• Named for the legendary Celtics coach, the 70,000-sf Auerbach Center at Boston Landing dramatically cantilevers toward a major commuter highway atop a mixed-use building that is elegantly massed as a skewed stack of three two-story elements.
• Lighting, materials, and color considerations purposefully chosen to help simulate game-day experiences; the practice courts feature the team’s signature red oak parquet flooring.
• Highlights include a sports science lab, training/recovery facilities, a therapeutic floatation tank, and a medical room with bone-imaging capability. Court-embedded “force-and-motion” floor plates collect data on player performance.
