Project Overview:
Centennial Park Pavilion is a sculptural gathering space in Fayetteville, Arkansas, designed for a cycling-focused park and international race events. Referencing the site's agricultural past, the pavilion features open-joint cladding reminiscent of old barns, filtered sunlight, and vertical light wells for orientation. Its form echoes Fayetteville's seven hills, integrating with the natural topography. Supporting events like the Cyclocross World Championships, the pavilion provides amenities for awards, registration, and vendors, enhancing the park's identity as a premier cycling destination with over 90 miles of trails.
