Acoustics By Design provided comprehensive acoustical consulting, HVAC noise control engineering, and audio-video design services for the entire Fieldhouse (including two large rear projection displays which are integrated into the interior architecture of the arena). The new athletic complex features a 5,000-seat sports arena, an Olympic size pool and aquatic center, an indoor tennis and track center, and a full student health and fitness center. Design elements included: JBL VP Vertech Series Speakers; Digital Projections, Lighting 1080 Projectors; BSS London DSP Processing; Epic Systems Acoustic Metal Roof Deck.
Classic Engineering
Classic Engineering assisted Steel Supply & Engineering by providing the steel erection bracing design for the new fieldhouse. Utilizing temporary columns, cable guys with helical earth anchors, the two main roof trusses were assembled in the air in three sections. Lateral stability of the entire structure was also provided by the bracing until the exterior masonry shear walls were completed.
