This 220,000 SF extensive renovation transformed the University of Cincinnati’s basketball arena into a state-of-the-art NCAA Division 1 collegiate basketball and special events venue. Built in 1989, the project scope included the transformation of the seating layout from its current configuration to a modern 360° seating bowl for approximately 12,000 spectators, with all of the amenities of a first-class sports arena including a videoboard and hi-tech sound. The renovation provided a new main entrance with ticketing and guest services areas and created new locker rooms, restaurants, bars, enclosed suites, VIP areas, restrooms and an upper-level concourse with amenities. Façade updates, two new premium seating clubs, a full service kitchen and storage area were also among the renovations. The project achieved LEED Silver certification.
