THE COMPREHENSIVE RENOVATION OF THE ZIONS BANK BASKETBALL CAMPUS PLACES THE BASKETBALL COURTS AT THE HEART OF THE FACILITY WITH SPACES FOR PLAYERS, COACHES, MANAGEMENT, AND INDOOR & OUTDOOR TRAINING SURROUNDING THE COURTS. THE COURTS OPEN DIRECTLY, VIA LARGE FOLDING GLASS WINDOW WALLS, TO AN OUTDOOR COURT SPORT-COURT FEATURING A LIVING GREEN WALL BEHIND THE BASKET. ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF COURT, TWO LARGE ROLLING GLASS DOORS OPEN TO A TESTING AND TRAINING AREA; THIS RESULTS IN AN OPEN CONTINUITY OF SPACE IN WHICH PLAYERS AND COACHES CAN TRANSITION SEAMLESSLY BETWEEN ON-COURT AND OFF-COURT, AS WELL AS INDOOR AND OUTDOOR TRAINING.
THE JAZZ TEAM LOCKER ROOM WAS DESIGNED TO MATCH THE LOCKER ROOM AT THE NEWLY EXPANDED AND COMPLETELY RENOVATED VIVINT SMART HOME ARENA.
