University of Kansas McCarthy Hall
Staying a step ahead in the recruiting game
with branded, legacy-focused facilities
The University of Kansas opened Marie S. McCarthy Hall in October 2015. Designed by Treanor Architects and located on Naismith Drive next to Allen Fieldhouse, the new housing facility is home to the 16-member KU men’s basketball team plus 21 non-athlete upperclassmen. There’s also an extra apartment for guests, such as recruits or visiting family members.
The updated athlete facility provides a recruiting edge with a long list of amenities, including a full-court basketball facility (designed to replicate Allen Fieldhouse), a barbershop, theatre, and patio. Dimensional Innovations was also enlisted to design and fabricate the Jayhawk evolution wall, a large feature in the lobby, donor recognition for the basketball court, as well as provide vibrant graphics, a donor recognition wall in the lobby, and interior and exterior signage.
