Outdoor Enhancement Plan
Background:
• Student Recreation Center Expansion completed in
April 2013
• Expansion included no outdoor enhancements
• Competitive construction market yielded cost
savings resulting in excess bond proceeds
• UNCW initiated a master planning effort for
Student Campus Recreation Exterior Facilities &
Student Athletics Facilities in August 2013
• UNCW BOT approved the plan in December 2013
• Design of The Outdoor Enhancement Project
(phase one of the master plan) began in January
2014
• Initial budget was $5 Million
11
Outdoor Enhancement Plan
Budget:
• Outdoor Enhancement Project was established
with a budget of $5 Million
• Resolution of Student Rec Center designer claims,
definition of contractor claim exposure, steps
toward contract closeout and reallocation of
infrastructure costs yielded additional funds of $2.5
Million
• Plan to invest the additional $2.5 million into the
plan. The present project budget is established at
$7.5 million without replacing the track

Preliminary Rendering of Gateway Building 7C
The Gateway Building aesthetic will be coordinated with the landscape, streetscape and
long term master plan intent. The design will allow for the inclusion of a multi-modal
path and the accessible pedestrian use of Riegel Road. The buildings will provide focal
points for secure entry and provide programmatic amenities. The buildings will be
strategically located to increase the toilet fixture capacity in support of Athletic Facility
improvements.

Floor Plan of a Gateway Building
The Gateway building shown on the site plan 4D, 7C & 7D provide focused entry points
to the recreation & athletic complex. They also provide programmatic amenities.
