Rising Demand for Accessible and Community-focused Facilities
From efficient field layout to adequate parking space, we ensure our designs are safe and ADA accessible using strategic placement of bleachers, home and away boxes, light poles, and facility equipment to best utilize building space.
Energy Efficiency to Reduce Operating Costs
In our design, we use synthetic turf providing greater sustainability and lower maintenance than standard grass fields.
This option requires little to no manpower, less equipment, and no chemical usage. We also use cost-effective LED lights to illuminate the field maximizing community safety at night.
Digital and Smart Tools
We use the latest technologies and tools to optimize user experiences and accessibility in sports facility complexes. Utilizing high quality cameras, we detect wear patterns on the field and use different applications right from our fingertips to seamlessly operate field lighting after hours.
Adaptive Reuse
Keeping your budget and project goals a priority, we transform preexisting spaces using a phase by phase construction approach to design sustainable fields, sports facilities, and amusement parks.
Flexible Designs
From ultra-accessible children’s camps and inclusionary parks, we utilize creative design and renovation solutions to build thoughtful spaces that accommodate the needs of everyone including individuals with autism and sensory issues.
