A story behind every building

The 35th Architectural Showcase is in your hands. Chock full of 52 athletics, fitness and recreation facilities, this issue is as much a document of impressive venues as it is a chronicle of communities coming together around a single goal. While we encourage you to page through this volume and enjoy the spectacular photography of these outstanding facilities, you might take a second passthrough to read some of the stories that accompany those images.

As we put this issue together every year, I’m always amazed at the impetus for these projects — large and small — as well as the journeys taken to arrive at the building’s grand opening. The people spearheading these projects don’t just pick up a shovel and start digging. The planning process — feasibility studies, architect and site selection — often starts years before ground is broken, necessitating the support of entire populations and the raising of millions of dollars in funds.
