Global Academy for International Athletics, Inc
Site Plan
Site Plan, courtesy HD Architects, Gilbert, Arizona


A major feature of the Academy is a geodesic dome enclosing a multi-storied tower that will house the administrative offices, guest suites, tourist facilities and other services. The conceptual design was by noted Iranian-American artist Bijan Bahar.  The rendering of the site plan was by HD Architects of Gilbert, Arizona, Arizona’s largest educational architectural firm.  Surrounding that tower and geodesic dome will be six villages representing the continents (Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, and Oceania (Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands). Each village will be “slice of time,” or a living architectural museum representing the  “golden ages” of the cultures on those continents.  Within these six villages will be science laboratories, classroom, and the sports facilities.  Surrounding the six villages will be a world-class golf course designed by Mr. Gary Player of South Africa.  Bordering the Heroes of Golf Course will be housing for retired athletes and others from all nations who will have access to the Academy’s superb training and fitness facilities.
