Key Project Attributes

• Changes in the existing precast concrete were associated with seating risers, tubs, vomitory walls, flat slabs, structural precast concrete, and a few architectural precast concrete exterior walls.
• The three-phase renovation started in 2020, including demolition of an adjacent parking structure, adding new concession areas, various suite-level modifications, and replacements, changes, or additions to several seating areas in the fieldhouse.
• In the sports industry speed to market is critical because facility owners must always schedule construction projects around football games, concerts, and other events. Precast concrete is the only solution.

Project/Precast Scope

• Three-stage renovation incorporated a total of 229 precast concrete pieces, totaling 20,159 square feet.
• Phase 1 components included 6-in. vomitory wall, tubs, double seating risers, 4-in. flat slabs, stairs, and 10-in.-thick solid exterior walls panels.
