The creative remodel of an old 40,000 sf gym and racquetball courts and 38,000 addition transformed the image and use of this end of campus. The high profile nature and location of this project tells much about student lifestyle and pride at the University of Montana. There is no doubt that the 45′ climbing tower portrays a strong visual image. The glazed curving wall of the fitness center views out to the Clark Fork River and Rattlesnake Wilderness. This view continually involves the students in what they love about Montana.
