Budget/Cost
The various work described above was done in several phases. The stadium, concessions, and field house gymnasium were completed on a $17 million budget. The aquatics center was completed on a $5 million budget and the gymnasium addition and renovations on a $2.5 million budget.

Special Challenges/Unusual Characteristics
The clustered programming components and adjacencies helped divide the various projects into phases conducive to those specific sporting events and their seasons. Some sports were disrupted for one season, and they competed at another high school. Keeping the project on schedule was key to avoiding infringement into the next athletic season. A contingency plan was established for “what if” situations: a longer rainy season or other unforeseen conditions. The Owner, Site Administrators, and the Community were all apprised that changes to the schedule may occur.

Solution/Design
The various buildings were designed to nearly replicate their volume and scale, apart from requiring more capacity. The materials used were contextual. For example, the site had used a precision block with split-face accent bands, and we used the same materials.

Sustainable Design/Resiliency Measures
Older facilities have outdated and inefficient plumbing fixtures, lights, and mechanical equipment. The existing stadium lights, the field irrigation sprinkler heads, swamp coolers, and the various pool equipment were antiquated. New, energy-efficient stadium light poles, synthetic turf, low flush water closets, waterless urinals, timed lavatory faucets, new rooftop HVAC units, LED light fixtures, Low-E glazing, natural lighting, and various types of daylight harvesting light tubes were placed in restrooms/locker rooms to reduce energy costs and the carbon footprint.
