Claude Moore Community Recreation Center
Sterling, VA
Year in Showcase: 2008
Project Description
Located within Claude Moore
Park in Loudoun County, Va.,
this facility mirrors agricultural
architecture, standing in stark
contrast to the "big box" retail stores
and offices surrounding the historic
farm/park setting. A traditional barn
and silo serves as the entry for this
complex, providing a singular feature
at the front of the building that glows
at night. Smaller structures for the
gym, community rooms, and teen
and childcare areas extend from the
central lobby.
Direct visibility to all of the activity
areas from the lobby makes for constant
excitement and easy supervision. An
elevated track runs through the heart
of the facility above the fi tness area,
with exterior vistas on two sides of the
building, as well as interior views to the
entry lobby, climbing wall, gymnasium
and both pools.
The aquatics area includes a
50-meter training and competition
pool and a leisure pool with sundeck,
linked by a suite of locker rooms,
the mechanical core and family
changing spaces. The iconic silo, clad
in regional glazed brick, houses the
spiral water slide.
Horizontal composite siding with
stone base and standing-seam metal
roofing enclose the majority of the
complex, and playful yet bold reds and
yellows help differentiate the masses.
