At Higginson Architects, Inc. (HAI), we are committed to enhancing public spaces with designs that marry aesthetics with practicality. Our project for the Riverside Community College District (RCCD) involved the redesign and renovation of their tennis courts, bringing a fresh, modern look while ensuring that functionality and durability are prioritized. This project aims to offer students, faculty, and the community a state-of-the-art facility that not only meets the needs of competitive athletes but also creates an inviting space for recreational play.



Functionality at the Core


While the elegant design of the tennis courts enhances the space’s appearance, functionality remains at the heart of the renovation. The updated courts are equipped with features that cater to both recreational players and competitive athletes, ensuring that they can serve the diverse needs of the Riverside Community College District.


Professional-Grade Surfaces: One of the key upgrades is the resurfacing of the courts. The high-quality court surface is designed to meet professional-grade standards, offering consistent bounce and optimal playability. The surface has been engineered for durability, ensuring that it can withstand heavy use over time while maintaining its performance characteristics.


Improved Court Layout: Hai’s design also optimized the layout of the courts to maximize the available space. The new court configuration provides enough room for doubles play while ensuring that the courts can be easily divided for multiple games or practice sessions at once. The courts are designed to accommodate tournaments, with ample space for spectators, ensuring that they can be used for competitive events as well as casual play.


Safety and Accessibility: The design also focuses on the safety and accessibility of the facility. Clear signage and well-lit walkways ensure easy navigation to and from the courts. The upgraded fencing provides secure boundaries while allowing spectators to watch the action without obstruction. Additionally, access to the courts has been improved for individuals with disabilities, ensuring that everyone in the community can enjoy the facility.



Community Impact and Engagement

The renovation of the Riverside Community College District tennis courts represents more than just an update to the athletic facilities; it is a community-focused investment. Tennis is a sport that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and skill levels, and the updated facility provides a space where students, faculty, and local residents can come together to engage in healthy recreation and competitive play.

By designing a facility that balances elegance with efficiency, HAI has created a tennis environment that elevates the community’s experience. The facility is not only a space for competition but also a place for connection—where people can meet, engage, and enjoy the sport in a beautiful and functional setting.
