Needing to quickly update its team facilities, the Buffalo Sabres organization and design team explored how group interaction and performance could be optimized using program placement and adjacencies – establishing a new high-standard for similar spaces throughout the league. The renovation relocates and expands the team dressing room, the player lounge and strength/conditioning spaces, almost doubling the area previously dedicated to those functions. CannonDesign served as both the construction manager as advisor and designer for the renovation, which helped ensure delivery on a tight time-schedule of seven months.
