very busy and demanding lives. "This
is what special-population housing and
living/learning communities are about
- students living together who share a
common interest and experience," Michael Treanor, founder of TreanorHL
and lead architect for McCarthy Hall,
explained to Athletic Business. "We
wanted to design and build a residence
where these kids can feel at home,
have a quiet place to study or relax with
their friends, as well as focus on play-
ing basketball."
Levels of privacy designed into the
building allow student athletes to move
comfortably between private, semipublic, and public spaces. Grouping all
living spaces in the upper two floors
of the building allows them to retreat
into their own space, relax, and enjoy a
reprieve from the activity and attention
that comes from playing a high-profile

According to Athletic Business, McCarthy
Hall provides a multifunctional room
that can be used for meetings, seminars
or game day meals; a recreation room
with widescreen televisions, a pool
table, and a view to the basketball
court; a tiered media room that can
be used for viewing game films, as an
entertainment venue, or space for guest
lectures; a first-floor community space
and rooftop terrace, each with a gas
fireplace and soft, comfortable furniture;
and there is a study room for tutoring
or quiet study. Additionally, there is a
model apartment on the first floor that
replicates the student apartments above.
It is used to show recruits the living
quarters and serves as a host for visiting
family members and recruits. Finally,
Allen Fieldhouse is nearby, which keeps
students athletes in close proximity to
their training and performance facilities.
