The existing space in the Yoh Football Center was dated and didn’t provide a modern wow-factor for recruits and student-athletes.

With the hiring of a new football coach, Duke took charge on renovating the football locker room and player’s lounge spaces between football seasons to exceed facility standards in the ACC Conference and amongst other Power 4 schools.

The locker room space was revealed in July 2024 with smiles, laughter and awe from the player’s and coaching staff. This space will be the home for Duke Football on gameday and everyday, providing an impactful and functional area to build team culture and improve performance on and off the field.

Local residents used the park’s facilities heavily, and nearby schools and cities relied on it for indoor and outdoor sports and open space for community events but renovations were overdue for the existing pool and bathhouse which contained hazardous materials and were not energy efficient.

The new facility incorporates energy and water conservation devices, sustainable design features, and green building components. It also provides wheelchair access, landscaping and winding walkways.

With the Rock Cats (now named Yard Goats) ballpark home in New Britain nearing the end of its second decade, there were renovations and modernizations that needed to be made. Building a brand-new park, without having to leave the metro area, was an interesting opportunity for team management. Hartford Mayor Pedro Segarra agreed, citing that it would aid in an effort to keep the franchise from moving out of Connecticut and revitalize Hartford’s downtown.

The main drivers behind the renovation project were to establish a new standard of recruiting excellence, provide an activated space to promote student-athlete recovery, and deliver Georgia Tech’s fresh brand.

The Yellow Jackets’ 15-year-old locker room has been transformed into one of college football’s most state-of-the-art sports dressing spaces. The redesigned space generates eye candy, as well as functionality for Georgia Tech’s combined gameday and everyday locker room. The renovation incorporates the latest technology upgrades to further drive the Georgia Tech vision.

Georgia State Stadium, with its nimble infrastructure and past lives as the former Centennial Olympic Stadium and Turner Field, was recently faced with a third transformation—a collegiate football stadium and home to the GSU Panthers.

Each use had opening dates that could not be missed, keeping a tight timeline for both design and construction with each stadium conversion.

With each re-use of the facility, the different tenants found a way to make it their home with unique branding, fan engagement, and right-sized amenities.

The Georgia State Stadium exemplifies an extraordinary re-use of facility amenities and existing infrastructure – as host to the Olympic Opening Ceremonies, the Atlanta Braves, dominant in their division, and now with Panthers Football lighting the stadium blue to signal major home wins.

Like many other YMCAs, the New Canaan facility was a conglomerate of many additions, creating confusion and underutilization. The clients goal was to provide space for a range of activities geared towards different age levels while attracting new membership in a competitive environmen

Extensive interior renovations were made to the existing building that eliminated maze-like pathways and improve circulation and wayfinding throughout all floors. SLAM used large amounts of interior glass through the modern addition and existing space to create transparency and allow for natural light to enter the building on all sides, while putting a wide range of fitness activities on display.

The new West Pavilion provides a gateway that is an extended covered walkway and ties into the existing daily pedestrian paths. Located on a constrained site, the building comes within 8 feet from the adjacent student center. To preserve the gateway, the curved geometry of the lower bowl, the gateway cantilever, and the increasing size of the upper floor plates (creating a tilt to the west) all led to a diagonal structural system, which is freely expressed inside the building, and reflected in the parallelogram geometry of the glass and metal panel exterior skin on the north, west and south sides.

The 7-level, 130,000 SF press and VIP tower enhances fan amenities with 1,100 new club seats, 30 new loge boxes, and 21 new private suites. The new stadium facility takes advantage of the confined site restrictions with floor to ceiling glass on almost every interior or exterior wall parallel to the field.

Major project components include:
An enhanced concourse and pedestrian access, an outdoor roof terrace for pre-game activation, a 50-seat President’s suite and private suites for Athletics Directors, meeting and dining rooms to host 120+ events annually, and press and broadcast facilities.
