Training Giants
The new training headquarters unites athletic performance, recovery, and strategy under one roof to advance the Giants’ legacy of excellence.
Quest Diagnostics Training Center
East Rutherford, NJ
The New York Football Giants, one of the most storied franchises in the NFL, needed a new home for their training operations following the demolition of Giants Stadium, where the team’s facility had been located for decades. With a reputation built on discipline, tradition, and results, the Giants required a headquarters that could reflect their values while supporting the physical and strategic demands of a modern football team.
EwingCole designed a 194,000-square-foot Quest Diagnostics Training Center complex that brings the entire Giants organization under one roof. At the center of the facility, the locker room anchors the building’s layout, providing players with efficient access to training, recovery, strategy, and team development areas. The adjacent training suite features plunge pools, hydrotherapy pools, exam rooms, and training tables, all designed to support athletic performance and rehabilitation.
Strategic preparation plays a crucial role. The design features multiple team meeting rooms and an auditorium equipped with advanced audio-visual (AV) technology for reviewing game footage and developing strategy. With these components integrated into a cohesive environment, the facility reinforces the Giants’ culture of excellence and prepares players for success on and off the field.
MetLife Stadium meets both client and fan expectations, striking a balance between state-of-the-art amenities and environmental responsibility through energy and water conservation strategies. Today, the venue serves as a dynamic hub for football, concerts, and global events, with the capacity and infrastructure to host marquee competitions, such as the upcoming FIFA World Cup.
“Performance training was a priority for all the football-related activities. Creating spaces, program elements and infrastructure to allow the facility to accommodate the latest in training methods was an important design goal for us; EwingCole clearly understood our requirements and worked with us cooperatively to develop a facility that will meet our needs for years to come.”
