The Campbell Sports Center serves as a new “gateway” to Baker Athletics Complex at the prominent urban corner where Broadway meets 10th Avenue and the 1 Subway line—the northernmost crossing of Broadway with avenues that run the length of Manhattan. The design concept “points on the ground, lines in space”—like field play diagrams used for football, soccer, baseball—develops from point foundations on the sloping site.

Just as points and lines in diagrams yield the physical push and pull on the field, the building’s elevations push and pull in space. External stairs, “lines in space,” and terraces extend the field play up and into the building and give views from the upper levels over the Baker Athletics Complex and Manhattan with the Empire State and Chrysler buildings in the distance.
