Largest Construction Project in Atlanta Under Way By Cindy Riley

A rendering of the completed stadium.
Described as the single largest construction project in the city in the next three years, the new Atlanta stadium, which remains nameless for the moment, will serve as the official home of the Falcons football team. The $1.2 billion dollar multi-purpose facility, set for completion in time for the 2017 NFL season, will total 1.8 million sq. ft. (167,225 sq m), and include a retractable roof configuration and an openair concourse. “The stadium will also feature a first of its kind, 360degree video scoreboard, which will be programmable for various events,” said Rich McKay, president and CEO of the Atlanta Falcons. “Other amenities include seven exclusive dining and entertainment club areas, field level suites, a 100yard bar and a Fantasy Football lounge.” Billed as a state-of-the-art, iconic sports and entertainment complex, the stadium was designed to attract world-class sports, cultural and commercial events and serve as a landmark for the city. Already getting international attention, the stadium will feature a floor to ceiling window with views of downtown Atlanta. It will reportedly represent the highest standards in environmental responsibility, and will incorporate the latest in sustainable and LEED advancements in design, construction and operations. “Our goal is for the stadium to set a new standard in sustainability for major sports and entertainment venues,” McKay said. “Our strategic LEED partner, Georgia Power, joins us in our commitment to environmental responsibility and in our approach to reimagining the stadium experience. Sustainable features will include bicycle and pedestrian paths, edible landscaping, sustainable, low/zero toxicity building materials and an open-air environment, which provides air flow and maximizes daylight and natural ventilation for energy optimization. In May 2014, a groundbreaking ceremony — complete with fireworks and the distribution of 3D glasses — was held for the new stadium. Falcons and MLS Atlanta owner Arthur Blank; Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed; NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell; Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber; and Georgia World Congress Center Authority Executive Director Frank Poe were all in attendance. “Today is truly a celebration not only for the Falcons and
the new major league soccer team that will call this stadium home, but for the city of Atlanta, the state of Georgia and all of our partners who have worked so hard to make this project a reality,” Blank said at the groundbreaking ceremony. “We are committed to providing our fans and event guests with an unparalleled experience in the new facility, and we’re equally committed to the long-term economic growth and success of this great city and state.” The project will have a major impact not only on the Falcons, but also the Georgia World Congress Center Authority (GWCCA), the city of Atlanta and the state of Georgia. Since their debut season in 1966, the Falcons have called downtown Atlanta home. After spending more than
two dozen seasons at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, the team moved to the Georgia Dome in 1992. The Falcons’s lease at the Georgia Dome expires in 2020, or when the bonds that financed the Dome’s construction are paid off (set for 2017). By then, the Dome will be a quarter century old, the average age of retirement for other NFL domed stadiums. The Authority considered a major renovation of the Georgia Dome, but a study determined costs to bring the structure to current NFL standards and to continue to meet the needs of the Georgia World Congress Center would be nearly $900 million. It was determined a new building would be constructed on Authority property. After considering two potential sites north and south of the existing Georgia Dome, the south location was selected in September 2013. The site was chosen after two historic African-American churches and their congregations agreed to sell their property to make way for the stadium. The high-profile project is a joint venture that includes Holder Construction, Hunt Construction Group, HJ Russell & Company and CD Moody Construction Company (HHRM). Holder Construction is the managing partner. Reeves Contracting of Atlanta is performing site work. “We are currently drilling piers and excavating part of the see STADIUM page 8

Architecture, designed the stadium along with the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., the home of New York’s two NFL teams and the site of this year’s Super Bowl. “Working with a client like Mr. Blank, who brings a tremendous vision for the value and experience he wants to provide to the community, is phenomenal,” said Bill Johnson, senior principal, 360 Architecture. “Together, we have been able to create a building that looks beyond the function of a stadium to create something that is sculptural and beautiful.” Designing a stadium that truly captures the atmosphere of a cheering crowd also was important to the architectural team. “I believe the NFL is at a crossroads, due to the fact that high quality broadcast competes for the actual event,” said Johnson. “Sports fans are staying home in increasing numbers. The challenge for new facilities is to create a totally immersive, technology driven game day experience, something unable to be appreciated at home.” The Roman-inspired design features a roof that works like an aperture in a camera, as well as a circular video board and glass doors that open and close to let air circulate into the stadium, resulting in reduced energy costs. The design started from the top down, according to Johnson, with the roof’s eight large, triangular pieces moving along individual tracks to open and close. Johnson said the aperture allows the structure’s energy to be focused toward the center of the building, unlike retractable roofs consisting of one or two pieces that roll on and off a stadium. The stadium will provide permanent seating for 66,000 to 72,000 fans for NFL games, including luxury suites and other premium seating opportunities. The facility also allows for expandable seating to 80,000 for marquee events such as Super Bowls and World Cup Soccer final matches. In addition, the site includes consideration of VIP

Most of the site demolition has been completed, and a temporary road has been installed to allow for access around the stadium and maintain traffic flow. “The site originally had several buildings on it, as well as a parking lot used for Georgia Dome events, and a portion of Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard that all needed to be demolished,” Reeves said. “A lot of grading has been needed to get the site to the elevation needed for the stadium. There were cuts up to 25 feet. There was minimal clearing, since the site had already been developed. We did demo an existing bridge, a large concrete wall and a parking Holder Construction photo lot.” So far, crews have hauled off 110,000 cu. yds. (84,101 cu m) of dirt.

Officials Say New Structure Will Boost Georgia’s Economy STADIUM from page 8
parking spaces and sufficient parking for teams, building tenants and venue employees. In addition to the NFL, the stadium is designed to host concerts, family shows, extreme sports, general public assembly events, stage shows and other special events. The stadium will offer administrative and team offices, luxury suites, concessions, operations offices, commissary storage and a kitchen. In addition the stadium will include, a building receiving area/loading dock, a building services area, an engineering office and shop, ticket office and windows, team store, dressing room facilities to accommodate four teams simultaneously and an officials’ dressing room. It also will include a press box, audio/visual control room, venue storage, public restrooms, rigging and catwalks to support multiple types of events, a first aid office, event office and other standard programmed space. The new stadium project will be funded in a public-private partnership. One-third of the project cost will be funded from the proceeds of a GWCCA bond offering secured by a portion of hotel tax revenues. Atlanta Falcons Football Club (AFFC) is responsible for the remaining two-thirds of the costs of development and construction on the new stadium site, as well as any cost overruns. GWCCA and AFFC are considering the sale of personal seat licenses as part of the new stadium financing.
Officials, who are still in the process of securing naming rights for the stadium, say the new structure will be an economic boost to the state. Construction is expected to generate more than $400 million in total statewide economic impact, including more than $160 million in personal income. Over the three-year building period, the project is estimated to add more than 1,400 full-time equivalent new jobs to Atlanta, and more than 4,500 new jobs to the state’s economy. Falcons executives also have helped launch Westside Works, a long-term neighborhood improvement program focused on creating employment opportunities and job training for residents of nearby Westside communities. The effort will place at least 100 men and women into construction jobs Holder Construction photo either at the stadium or in the surrounding So far, approximately 80 percent of the site has been rough graded to allow the areas over the next 12 months. shallow and deep foundation trade contractors to begin their scopes. “We believe the new Atlanta stadium will be one of the most spectacular venues in the world,” MLS Commissioner Garber said to reporters. “It will provide an incredibly innovative approach that will customize the stadium for Atlanta’s new Major League Soccer team, and it will also be an iconic host for major international matches and future international tournaments.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)
