Simmons hall, together with Stara Center- disigned by Frank Gehry, are part of MIT's $1 bilion-plus building program of "the evolving MIT Campus".
The first building to be completed under this program is the Zesiger Sports and Fitness Center. Designed by Kevin Roche John Dinkelo & Associates, with Sasaki Associates as executive architect, Zesiger occupies one of the most prominent locations on MIT's campus, facing the Kresge Auditorium by Eero Saarinen.
In 2000, a four-day workshop brought together such celebrated designers as Charles Correa, Frank Gehry, and Fumihiko Maki to help shape a vision of the future of MIT's 154-acre (62-hectare) campus. Today, the first of the new buildings envisioned has been completed, with more on the way.
