Brown University’s Penner Field House is a 76,000-square-foot indoor practice facility that gives varsity, club, intramural, and recreational athletes a place to train and play year-round. Designed to support a broad range of activities, the facility includes an indoor turf field and strength and conditioning space, expanding opportunities for students to stay active through New England’s winter months. Lam Partners’ lighting design supports the varied uses of the facility, providing clear, comfortable illumination for athletic practice, training, and recreation. The design works within the expansive field house and alongside its natural light, helping create a welcoming environment for the Brown community.
