Atlanta Arena, Atlanta Georgia (Designed at Pennsylvania Division)

Home of the Atlanta Thrashers NHL hockey team, this 27,000 seat arena consists of stadia sections supported by both steel and precast raker beams. Coordination with other construction trades was tantamount to achieving a successful project.

Princeton University Stadium Princeton, New Jersey (Designed at Pennsylvania Division)

This structure is a true gem amongst stadiums built in the USA. Palmer field, built in the 1920's no longer satisfied the needs of a growing university. The challenge was to create a similar facility with the touch of the past. The horseshoe shaped colonnade consists of 100% precast components including insulated load bearing wall panels, hollow core plank, solid slabs, and 60' spandrels, which connect vertical precast "boxes". These boxes house concessions and other user facilities.

The seating is a one of a kind design with stadium sections made in triple seat units with horizontal slots, which allow light to illuminate the concourse below. Working with the architect, engineer, and precaster, HWA helped develop this seating unit, which is truly unique. To ensure a safe and efficient design, HWA developed and oversaw a special load test, which resulted in several improvements but performed extremely well. Seating capacity is 25,000.

Comcast Center At The University Of Maryland College Park, Maryland (Designed at Pennsylvania Division)

This 20,000 seat all-purpose arena is home of the 2001 national championship Maryland Terrapins Basketball Team. It consists of precast seating supported by precast and CIP raker beams, spandrel panels facing the arena floor, and vomitory walls and stairs for easy egress and a variety of miscellaneous precast products.

Addition To Lambeau Field Green Bay, Wisconsin (Designed at Pennsylvania Division)

Like many NFL teams, the Packers needed to enhance their facility to draw larger attendance. This was a vertical addition consisting of precast seating supported by new steel raker beams. Skyboxes were also added, which were constructed of precast panels and floors for speed of erection on a tight schedule. HWA provided design and shop drawing services for all precast components and coordinated details with other trades to achieve a successful project.

Northeastern Pennsylvania Civic Arena Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania (Designed at Pennsylvania Division)
