UAA-18 - SW Stadium Expansion
Building Number: 0157 - BEN HILL GRIFFIN STADIUM
Project Description: The project consists of approximately additional 30,600 GSF(new contraction) and 31,800 GSF(renovation)of offices, meeting rooms, weight room, Interactive exhibition/Reception area, Gator Room, and support space for the University of Floridas football program. The construction budget is estimated at approximately $21.4M. The new addition to the stadium must fit with contextually with adjacent facilities while also conveying a prominent sense of arrival. This addition to the South West corner of the stadium will serve as a focal point for one of the main intersections on campus, Gale Lemerand Drive and Stadium Road, and the main entrance for the football program to the stadium. The Design team must balance this with the need to create a facility that clearly conveys a sense of importance, arrival, ease of access and inviting architecture to the new addition. The design team shall creatively develop the addition of a prominent street-level entry, incorporate it into the existing physical facility to allow ease of access to the various spaces and the stadium. This project is not a stadium seating or field expansion.
