Sports Center (1968-2009) front facade from the north
Subject
Sports Center - Exterior
Description
A black and white photo of the front of the Sports Center, which faces north. Numerous trees are visible in front of the entrance. This photograph clearly emphasizes the the self-effacing character of architect Edward Dart's design, minimizing its over 70,000 sq. ft. of interior space, a tour de force in the midst of this upscale residential area of lower, smaller estate homes.
"During the 1960's, as the student body was rapidly growing, there was a movement to increase athletics on campus. A commitee, headed by trustee Elliott Donnelley, funded the construction of Lake Forest College's Sports Center. Completed in 1968, the Sports Center was the largest building that Lake Forest College built during the decade" (Dustin Magill on Sports Center in "Lake Forest College: A Guide to the Campus," 2007, pp. 62-64).
