RENSSELAER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE | Troy, NY

While with Sasaki Associates, Chris Sgarzi was the primary designer and planner for the Athletics and Recreation Master Plan that became the basis for the recent athletic facility improvements at RPI.

The master plan process involved seminars and open forums on campus. It identified the importance of maintaining the recreational sports hub on the core campus, while allowing the athletic center to be located toward the outskirts of the campus—near the playing fields and where further expansion is possible.
