Each year a handful of schools receive the NIRSA Outstanding Sports Facilities Award. This award recognizes recently renovated or expanded collegiate recreation facilities of NIRSA Member Institutions. Last week at the NIRSA Annual Conference & Recreational Sports Expo several more schools were given the honor of receiving this prestigious award.

Among the winners of the 2017 Outstanding Sports Facilities awards, were four facilities designed by CannonDesign. The winners include:
University of California Riverside, Student Recreation Center
University of Missouri-St. Louis, Wellness and Recreation Center
University of Victoria, Centre for Athletic, Recreation and Special Abilities
Northern Kentucky University, Campus Recreation Center
