San Diego FC aimed to create a world-class training facility ahead of its inaugural MLS season. The project presented unique design challenges, including structural columns that disrupted the weight room layout. The facility needed to balance full-team training capacity with open space for functional movement and conditioning, all while coordinating multiple contractors and consultants.
PLAE led the design process, developing custom rack solutions that integrated the structural columns and maximized usable space. The facility features modular rack systems, recessed dumbbell storage for efficient flow, and dedicated areas for functional and cardio training. The bold aesthetic with natural light creates a professional environment that impresses players and staff while serving as a recruiting advantage.
The Parramatta Eels set out to build the world's largest Rugby League training facility, serving men's, women's, and youth pathway programs. The Sydney-based NRL club needed a high-performance environment that could support large squad training simultaneously, with dedicated spaces for strength work, speed development, tactical preparation, and recovery.
PLAE partnered with the Eels to deliver their Centre of Excellence. The facility features performance flooring, athletic turf for speed and agility work, dedicated wrestling mats, and fully outfitted strength areas with custom-branded equipment. Every detail reinforces team identity while maximizing functionality. Multiple squads can now train together seamlessly, setting a global benchmark for professional rugby facilities.
