The new $300M complex of facilities to fulfill the daily operations of the 5th Infantry Brigade Combat Team at Fort Stewart, Georgia, was capped by an 88,000 SF Physical Fitness Facility, built by the design+build team of Megen Construction and KZF Design. Creation of a new physical fitness facility that has its own identity, while cohesively related to adjacent structures, was a primary goal.

The new facility includes a two-story lobby with climbing wall, which welcomes the building users and becomes the center’s focal point. The first floor contains a gymnasium, fitness module, and indoor pool (natatorium). The natatorium encompasses a variety of features, including a lap pool, activity pool with lazy river, and spa. Secondary recreational spaces are located on the upper-level mezzanine including a cardio balcony, running track, cycling, spinning, racquetball and aerobics. Support spaces include locker rooms, family changing rooms, concession areas, and daycare area. The project achieved a LEED Silver certification for its commitment to sustainability.
