KG+D collaborated with Trinity Pawling School on a field house addition that joined multiple disconnected athletic facilities—including a gymnasium, wrestling pavilion, squash courts and ice rink—to create an essential athletic hub on campus.
The Smith Field House is now the largest building on campus. It houses a gymnasium with two full basketball courts with upper-level spectator seating, a half court with workout space, a distinctive main entry and lobby space and an Alumni and Athletic Hall of Fame Room with adjacent terrace space that will spotlight awards and school athletic memorabilia.
The new field house features curved timber trusses and has large clerestory windows that create a dramatic and light-filled space.
The building not only serves as a state-of-the-art athletic facility but also is enjoyed daily as a student social center and gathering space.
