Overview

With its minimal exterior form and unabashed usage of reinforced concrete, Evergreen State College's Campus Recreation Center (CRC) displayed Brutalist Modern characteristics, a style very popular for collegiate buildings in WA c. 1970. Completed in 1972, it was renamed for Vice President of Student Affairs, Art Costantino, in 2013.

Alteration

In 2014, the Portland firm of Yost Grube Hall (YGH) Architecture worked on design work to renovate the CRC. According to the YGH web site: "YGH was selected for the initial programming and conceptual design of the renovation of the Costantino Recreation Center. Located at the heart of the College’s densely wooded campus, the Center will reflect and symbolize this environmentally-conscious campus with progressive sustainable features and material use. If a student referendum passes in the Spring of 2015, the 43-year old 115,000 SF facility will be upgraded for current and anticipated future needs of campus student recreation, intercollegiate athletics as well as The Evergreen State College’s community recreation partnerships."
