Letter from the Editor: Future Facilities

Letterfrom Editor Tile

The Architectural Showcase is our most important issue of Athletic Business, and the facilities featured herein are undoubtedly this issue's stars. Each year, we aim to complement the Showcase with facility-related features, pairing inspiration from the Showcase with practical guidance to help our readers with their own aspirations. These features have included everything from design trends and planning site visits to how to make older facilities look new again.

We live in a world that is constantly on the cusp of change thanks to the accelerating progress of technology — a world where Twitter and Amazon vie for the rights to stream NFL games, where laser guidance and high-tech shoes helped a runner come just 25 seconds shy of breaking the two-hour-marathon barrier.
