OUTSTANDING OUTDOOR TENNIS FACILITY OF THE YEAR

l The new tennis facility at the Army Navy Country

Club includes 14 Har-Tru courts with subsurface

irrigation (10 with lights) and four new asphalt tennis courts,

along with cabanas, fencing and windscreens. The project

was challenging due to wet weather during construction

and limited access space for construction materials. In one

instance, an existing wall next to one battery of courts failed,

destroying the fence line, hydro court cells, sleeves and light-

pole foundations. The solution was to add extra stone to help

with compaction and counteract the wet conditions. The wall

was changed from poured concrete to a stacked block wall,

and the light-pole footers were redesigned by an engineer.

OUTSTANDING OUTDOOR TRACK FACILITY OF THE YEAR

l The new running track at the Gerard Filion Secondary

School in Quebec was designed to meet IAAF Class

1 standards. The project included the asphalt base and a

top-quality, eco-friendly, poured-in-place polyurethane

surface. The polyurethane “sandwich” system was applied in

four stages and required a perfectly level asphalt base and

highly precise measurements for the thickness of the layers.

Unprecedented cold weather created some delays in product

drying times, but the construction team was able to adjust

the schedule to complete the project on time.

OUTSTANDING SINGLE-FIELD FACILITY OF THE YEAR

l This renovation and reconstruction of the Lawrence

University Banta Bowl sports stadium involved

installing an expanded synthetic turf field to accommodate

soccer and football, along with the demolition of existing

support buildings and construction of a new concessions/

restroom/locker room building, grandstand seating, new

scoreboard and more. The reconstructed field was developed

to meet competitive guidelines and requirements of the

NFHSA and NCAA. Among the obstacles the contractor had

to contend with were an inadequate field width, stemming

from when the stadium was originally constructed in 1965,

and accommodating storm sewer and sanitary sewer

facilities that crossed under the stadium field.

OUTSTANDING MULTI-FIELD FACILITY OF THE YEAR

l The new 10-acre Shoreline Athletic Facility is built on a closed landfill site and now

provides multi-use synthetic turf fields for soccer, baseball, softball and lacrosse.

From design through construction, the process took five years, which included more than

a year of overburdening the site with more than 120,000 cubic yards of soil to accelerate

settlement. There also were many regulator landfill permit requirements to deal with,

including modifying the existing landfill gas extraction system. Design and construction

also had to accommodate the western burrowing owl, a protected species that used a

part of the site as a foraging habitat. The result, though, is a recreational space that is

completely flexible for end users, whether children or adults.

OUTSTANDING RESIDENTIAL TENNIS FACILITY OF THE YEAR

l The new residential court in Gladwyne, Pa., with LED lighting,

was a coordinated effort that, in addition to a court contractor,

included masons, excavators, electricians, landscapers and more.

Set among steep slopes, the site had limited access for construction

vehicles and materials. The concrete for the post-tensioned slab, for

instance, had to be pumped over 360 feet up a steep hill, and the

concrete for the custom stone retaining walls had to be mixed on-

site. The custom fencing of clear cedar posts and rails with mortise-

and-tenon construction also was built on-site. A pre-cast channel

drain was installed on the court, while yard drains were installed to

catch perimeter water run-off, all of which attaches to a storm-water

management system constructed under the court.

OUTSTANDING INDOOR TRACK FACILITY OF THE YEAR

● The new Virtue Field House at Middlebury College was designed

to be a flexible space, suitable for training and competition, yet

also be able to hold up to 5,000 people for large campus functions and

assemblies. The field house replaces a “bubble” that was an athletics-only

facility that housed an indoor competition track and floor space for field

events. The new facility incorporates a 200-meter indoor track, synthetic

turf practice space, expanded recreation space and improved spectator

accommodations. The design team aimed to create a facility that visually

and functionally departs from the limitations of traditional buildings of

this type, leaving Middlebury flexible and well-positioned to be able to

host regional and NCAA indoor track and field events for the first time.
