Health awareness and athletic competition have become increasingly more important throughout the past years.
We see expansions of professional sports teams, new extreme sports being introduced, old facilities being rebuilt, and a growing demand for new facilities.
For example, the athletic facility market is expected to grow by 15% or more over next couple of years. Furthermore, these structures have increasing requirements to design and build for high performance. Their construction design is meant to provide flexibility, functionality, and durability.
This presentation will provide an overview of today’s high performance athletic facility designs. In addition to including recommendations to optimize designs.
Topics discussed will be highlighted with case studies.
Learning Objectives:
-
