After seven years of planning and fundraising, the University of Portland breaks ground this month on its Beauchamp Recreation and Wellness Center. The project will be triple the size of the existing Howard Hall, constructed in 1927. The $23 million facility, scheduled to open in fall of 2015, will feature three gymnasiums; spaces for group exercise, cardio and strength training; an indoor track; a climbing wall and a wellness suite. The design, by 360 Architecture of Kansas City, Mo., also incorporates infrastructure for a possible second phase, which would include a pool should funding become available.

The Edmonton Oilers have broken ground on a new $480 million Rogers Place arena, also designed by 360 Architecture. The 20,500-seat arena, expected to be completed in time for the 2016 season, will feature a unique design, mimicking the shape of an oil drop. A "winter garden" will serve as a multiuse public space and connect the arena to a community ice rink, a public transit station and a pedestrian walkway that are part of a larger overall downtown building project. A spectators' catwalk will be the first of its kind in an NHL arena, and clear glass throughout will offer transparency and daylighting.
