Overall Building Architecture

The University of Texas at Austin Moody Center Basketball and Events Arena, “Moody Center,” creates an immersive experience from the moment fans arrive at the interactive plaza until they get to their seats. The 15,000- seat facility replaces the 42-year-old Frank Erwin Center as the home for Texas Men’s and Women’s basketball and serves as a major entertainment venue for the Austin community. Designed to create stimulating urban spaces, the arena integrates sports facilities with current and future UT development.

Situated just south of bustling Nashville, GEODIS Park provides a new home for Nashville SC, reflective of its community, culture and heritage. The partnership of design firms Populous and HASTINGS joined to design GEODIS Park, the largest purpose-built soccer stadium in the United States and Canada as a testament to Nashville’s loyal, diverse fan base. Throughout the stadium, the growing support of soccer in the U.S. and Nashville is on display, as well as a true, authentic manifestation of all that sets Music City apart.

SoFi Stadium was designed to naturally integrate with the city and people of Los Angeles. It’s difficult to understand the size and scope of SoFi Stadium upon first approach to the building from the street level. SoFi Stadium was built 100 feet in the ground to accommodate the two major flight paths into LAX that sit below. The construction team excavated over 7 million cubic yards of dirt to create the stadium bowl. Nearly 100,000 tons of steel and cable were installed, and 144,000 cubic yards of concrete were used to construct SoFi Stadium.

Key words and concepts:
The story is how all 3 of the new buildings (CCP) were attached to the existing stadium.
Brick matched the original so the look is seamless
Floors one to five in all three buildings contain student based departments including the fitness center, rock climbing wall, digital marketing department, career center, music rehearsal space etc.
Facility is state of the art to watch the game from the seats and when in side due to plentiful viewing options.

The story of TQL Stadium, FC Cincinnati’s new home and Major League Soccer’s latest soccer-specific stadium, begins with the site. Ownership intentionally chose a centrally located urban environment with connections to all corners of the city. West End and the nearby Over-The-Rhine (OTR) district are two of Cincinnati’s most historic neighborhoods, each with their own distinct flavor and energy.

In September 2019, the new Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse (RMFH) opened in Cleveland to glowing reviews. The state-of-the-art venue, home to the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers, the AHL’s Cleveland Monsters and hundreds of concerts and events, was 26 years in the making. Over a 20-month period, the FieldHouse, which originally opened in 1994, underwent a Transformation that, in essence, created a brand new facility. Almost every inch of the FieldHouse was touched during the Transformation and the result is a stunning new venue that instantly established an iconic, new presence in downtown Cleveland.

HNTB served as the Design Architect and Architect of Record for the new 20,000-seat, 460,000-SF Lower.com Field, home of the Columbus Crew MLS team. A multidisciplinary design team, including MKSK (Urban Planning/Landscape Architecture) and BLUR Workshop (Premium Interiors) collaborated with team Ownership (Haslam Sports Group / Edwards Family) to deliver a world-class stadium designed to host MLS, FIFA and the U.S. Soccer national team matches as well as concerts and numerous community events.

A vision turned reality, Q2 Stadium brings to fruition years of close planning and partnership between Austin FC and the City of Austin. In search of creating a versatile and adaptable experience, the MLS Club scoured for the perfect location that would spur community and economic growth. Seven different city-owned sites were considered before settling on a brownfield site located near the North Burnet Gateway. Previously a chemical plant, the decision was made in an effort to leave public park space untouched.

The FC Cincinnati Mercy Health Training Center includes three full-size, lighted soccer fields (two grass, one artificial turf), as well as a goalkeeper-specific training area. The MLS team will be housed in a 30,000 sq. ft., multilevel building abutting the fields, while the FCC Academy teams will have an adjacent dedicated area along the practice fields.
