Abstract

The Bison Sports Arena for North Dakota State University will be a multiuse recreational facility not only for the athletes of NDSU but for any student, faculty member or visitor to the campus. This facility will enhance the athletic department for the campus and will also attract more visitors. This athletic and recreational facility will be a building block for the change from Division II athletics to Division I athletics. This being an athletic and recreational facility, incorporating the human form into the design is the main area that I want to explore. Using the study of Kinesiology, I will implement these principles into the form and context. Using these principles, they athletic complex should incorporate lightweight materials but at the same time using heavier materials such as brick and concrete is essential to maintaining the character of the rest of the North Dakota State University campus. The heritage and culture of this region is an area that should not be overlooked.
