Hillcrest High School Athletics

School athletics facilities include the main gym, auxiliary gym, and stand-alone field house. The athletics lobby is a voluminous impactful gathering space for students, visiting teams, and spectators with a portal framed view of the region’s Wasatch Mountains. Operationally, the lobby functions as a hub that connects athletic areas and leads to the upper concourse of the stadium. A dynamic balcony corridor suspended within the two-story volume connects two of the three athletic levels and provides visibility and monitoring between levels.

Daylight fills the lobby, which is finished with biophilic natural materials of patinaed copper and maple wood. The color palette is a timeless range of greens that bolster school spirit.

The gymnasiums are amply illuminated with daylight. The many interior windows encourage personal responsibility and invite inclusion by providing opportunities for students to view activities.

The field house features a second-level gallery that overlooks the stadium, and an expansive curtain wall showcases an elevated view of the field. This flex space is for dance and yoga classes during school and hosts athletic banquets and private events off hours.
