New Building
Completion Date: 2010

Overview:

Prakash Consulting was retained in 2008 to be a part of the consulting team to design a new indoor sports facility consisting of a soccer pitch, suspended running track and seating areas, viewing areas, gymnasium and fitness rooms. Project was completed in a Construction Management approach with RNF Ventures.

Design Approach:

Selection of materials was key in the structural design of this project as was the durability of the material. The clear span superstructure was achieved with pre-engineered framing.

• Main floor was concrete grade supported slab. Second floor was pre-cast hollow core and structural steel to achieve the open spans.

• Structural steel deck and cast concrete was utilized for the running tracks.

• Load bearing concrete masonry block was the primary structural element throughout the building.

• Roof structure was a combination of steel joist and clear span frames
