Sports Facility Construction: How It’s Unique

The construction of sports facilities is a challenging job for commercial contractors. Nationwide Construction has years of construction expertise in sports facilities. We start with planning and finish with the completion of the complex. Sports facility construction has some unique challenges.

Strict Deadlines

The contractor must complete a project on time. The start of a sport’s season can be determined in advance. When an athletic season is at stake, there’s no room for error!

Congested sites

It’s unlikely that the complex will be located on a large plot of land, regardless of whether it is for a major league or local team. Local teams build their facilities downtown. Larger groups often locate their complexes near hotels and restaurants in the center of big cities. We love the challenge of fitting the facility in with its surroundings.

Owners who are Dedicated

Owners of sports teams have a passion for their team and will dedicate themselves to building their facilities. Large groups also use committees to supervise the project. The local community is often equally passionate about the team and construction project. These factors often pressure the owner into a timely, successful completion. This also brings a lot more emotion into the project from all angles. It’s crucial to hire commercial contractors with experience in sports facility construction. They’ve already been through the process and know how to deal with the various situations that may arise.

As in sports, it is important to have a team effort between the owner, architect, and engineer, as well as the contractor.

Environmental Challenges

Multi-sport facilities face unique challenges. HVAC systems must be able to accommodate the sport in season. The lighting must also be compatible with the sport. The facility should be kept cool throughout the day during the hockey season so that the temperature is ideal for the game at night. The lighting in a multipurpose facility must be turned off when it is not being used and cooled before it can be switched back on. Maintenance workers need to be informed of the schedule for the next event so they can turn on the lights before the spectators arrive.

It is important to allow time for lighting and heating so that maintenance workers are not in discomfort while cleaning or doing other tasks.

Design Challenges

It cannot be easy to create a close-knit atmosphere for spectators in sports venues due to their size. Suites and club areas are often very lucrative, so they need to be strategically located.

The biggest challenge in designing sports facilities involves creating an atmosphere that is exciting and will encourage fans to attend. The facility should be able to compete with TV, smartphones, and other devices to attract fans.
