About Architectural Showcase

For nearly three decades, Athletic Business magazine has sponsored the Architectural Showcase, recognizing the best in recently constructed athletic, recreation and fitness facilities around the world.

The program has been so popular with our readers that we devote the entire June issue to an Architectural Showcase of outstanding new facilities.

Submission guidelines and materials for the 2011 Architectural Showcase will be available here soon after January 1, 2011. Facilities that opened in 2008, 2009 or 2010 will be eligible. For more information, contact associate editor Nick Brown.

Facilities of Merit

Facilities of Merit

Each summer, a rotating panel of leading architects convenes for two days in Chicago to review all entries from the June issue and choose 10 facilities to receive the coveted Facility of Merit Awards, announced in the December issue of Athletic Business and presented at the annual Athletic Business Conference.

Facilities are selected on the basis of plan efficiency, functional relationships and measures taken to maximize use of space, interior finishes, detailing and color schemes, exterior design, relationship of building to site, and cost of construction for value rececived.
