the sport.” Scheduled to open in August 2014, the Hall has sparked interest from numerous sponsors and supporters. When presented with the chance to oversee the project, Stephenson jumped at the chance. “The opportunity to create the nation’s premier college football attraction in the center of Atlanta’s business travel, convention and tourism district made too much sense to pass up. There isn’t a site in the country better suited for the Hall and a college football-themed attraction and events facility. Everyone who sees our renderings and fly-through video has an ‘ah-ha’ moment when they realize that we are re-defining the Hall of Fame asset class.” Located on Marietta Street in downtown Atlanta, the structure will complement the Georgia World Congress Center (GWCC), one of the largest convention facilities in

GUCA members hit the greens on Sept. 16 at the Orchard Hills Golf Course in Newnan, Ga., for the 2013 GUCA Larry S. McReynolds Golf Tournament to help raise money for GUCA educational programs. GUCA has the opportunity to give back to the industry by providing scholarships to college students in construction degree programs as well as other educational endeavors that include school-to-work programs for high school students, high school trade shows and career fairs, HEO programs for those seeking career opportunities in utility construction, CEFGA and the Go Build Georgia initiative. Members showed what they were made of with their ability to rally together for these educational endeavors. With 172 players in attendance 27 holes sold out in the morning and 16 sold in the afternoon. This was another successful golf tournament for GUCA. This year’s event included a morning tournament and an afternoon tournament with 43 teams total. The morning tournament winners include third place team Keith Steen, P.F.

College Football Hall of Fame Honors Greats, Enhances Atlanta By Cindy Riley CEG CORRESPONDENT

Hordes of sports fans will likely converge on Atlanta next fall, as work continues on the highly anticipated College Football Hall of Fame. The $67 million facility will top out at more than 96,000 sq. ft. (8,918.7 sq m) and will feature approximately 30,000 sq. ft. (2,787 sq m) of exhibit space. An interior football field will serve as a programming and event venue. “Our model contemplates 500,000 visitors annually,” said John Stephenson, CEO of Atlanta Hall Management, the not-for-profit group established to oversee the construction and operation of the Hall of Fame. “This will change the way visitors think of halls of fame. It isn’t simply a museum. Our exhibit designers have struck an excellent balance between historic physical artifacts and media/technology that provides ways for fans to enjoy the current and future state of

Architect Designs Portion of Facade to Imitate Pigskin

the country. The Hall will be adjacent to the Georgia Dome and the Omni Hotel, and near Centennial Olympic Park, the World of Coca-Cola and the Georgia Aquarium. Stephenson said the biggest hurdle getting the project off the ground was timing expectations. “Thankfully, the National Football Foundation and the GWCC gave us ample time to do significant due diligence to make sure the project was feasible and on solid footing,” said Stephenson. “Everyone wants things to happen quickly, but having the luxury of taking our time to do our homework has made the project stronger. ” The Hall of Fame will include a 7,500-sq. ft. (696 sq m) ballroom, retail space along the street edge and an upscale restaurant. It will be funded mostly through private sponsorships and philanthropy. With more than $55 million in committed equity so far, $1 million comes from the city of Atlanta. Atlanta-based tvsdesign served as architect for the project. The company was charged with designing the structure from the inside out, starting with a scale replica of a football field in the center of the building. Numerous exhibits will be showcased

around the field for fans to enjoy. Perhaps the building’s most dramatic feature is its exterior, with a chunk of the facade shaped like a giant pigskin. According to tvsdesign architect Kevin Gordon, the plans had to enhance the city streetscape, improve traffic flow and address the building’s proximity to train tracks, without bulging outside its borders. “The site began as two properties separated by a short street with an active train line along the rear,” said Gordon. “In order to assemble the pieces, an enhanced intersection and a new street were created along the backside of the site in order to maintain access to CNN Center, Georgia World Congress Center, Georgia Dome and Phillips Arena. Once these borders were drawn, the team tackled placement of three new distinct buildings within this new triangular boundary — the College Football Hall of Fame, a new entry foyer to the Georgia World Congress Center and a five-level parking deck.” The three-story attraction is anchored by a steel-framed rotunda, which required much thought and consideration. At project kickoff, Gordon took a vertical ride in a bucket truck. The shaky viewpoint solidified place-

ment of the top floor and pinpointed the location of the Hall of Fame space. “Visible from the park, the rotunda houses the entrance tunnel on the ground floor, a theater on the second level and the Hall of Fame space on the third,” said Gordon. “Retail and restaurant spaces will also open to the sidewalk along the building base level. The second floor houses the museum’s exhibit experience, while the top floor celebrates the honored inductees. The architecture uses carefully detailed exposed natural materials such as concrete, brick, glass, steel and other metals usually seen in stadium architecture. These natural materials bring color to the building without showing preference to any particular color or team. “We worked with the owner, exhibit designer and community neighbors to place restaurant, retail and other spaces at the sidewalk. These amenities enhance the vibrant streetlife along Marietta Street adjacent to Centennial Park and enhance what is quickly becoming a museum/entertainment district in downtown Atlanta.” Cousins Property/Gude Management is serving as project manger of the Hall of Fame, while Gallagher & Associates was chosen as the exhibit designer. Chris

Britton, division manager of general contractor Brasfield & Gorrie, described the project as a major undertaking. “We began construction in February 2013 and are scheduled to complete in time for the Chick-fil-a Kickoff Classic in 2014. The logistics are very challenging on a tight construction site. We are bordered on all sides, so there isn’t much room on site to lay down and stage material. Our construction sequence has to be executed flawlessly to ensure that we don’t lock ourselves in. We had to close Foundry Street as the museum sits right on top of it. In order to close Foundry, we not only had to relocate all of the utilities, including sanitary, storm, power distribution and fiber optics, but also had to open a new access road.” The road, known as the Baker Street Extension, runs along the western most property line of the site. “We could not impede any access/deliveries to the GWCC or the Omni Hotel,” said Britton. “Every activity on our schedule leading up to the opening of this new road was critical. Now that the road is open, we will need to keep it operating while building a five-level parking deck on top of it. see FOOTBALL page 4

Removing Poor Quality Soil Proves Most Time Consuming FOOTBALL from page 2

“We would have preferred to have a lane closure on Marietta Street to create additional space,” said Britton. “However, since this is directly in the middle of Atlanta’s tourist and sports hotspot, the city would not allow us to have more than the sidewalk. We have to coordinate our work hours/days with the events that take place nearby to ensure that we do not affect the event schedules.” Brasfield & Gorrie used BIM in the preconstruction process, which aided in planning site logistics for the project located in the busy area of downtown Atlanta. “Using BIM, Brasfield & Gorrie was able to determine proximities to surrounding buildings for minimal impact to the public,” said Britton. “This assisted in developing a complex plan for routing of the public access road running underneath the construction of the parking deck.” Crews are currently working from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. each day, with roughly two-dozen Brasfield & Gorrie employees on site. When combined with subcontractors, there will be close to 80 people on site, but that number will likely grow to 200 as more of the skin and finish trades work on site. In early September, crews began pouring the last section of Level 2 elevated slab and began forming the concrete roof slabs over the exhibit space. Structural steel is set to begin in late September, and the slab on grade in the museum is about 80 percent complete, except for the field. “On the parking deck, we’ve poured the elevated slab over the Georgia Power transformer vault and the building electrical room,” said Britton. “We are working on the remaining pile caps in the parking deck and will have the slab on grade poured by the end of the month. After the elevated concrete is completed in the museum, we will continue working on the elevated concrete for the parking deck.” Most of the grading is complete, as is a large portion of the structural concrete work on the museum. The deck has pile caps going in and the elevated parking structure will start once the museum concrete is finished. Crews still have to complete the museum and construct the GCC connector that will tie the College Football Hall of Fame into the GWCC. As for the most time consuming part of the job, said Britton, “We ran into some pretty bad soils that needed to be removed and replaced with suitable fill. This presented a huge challenge to our team. During this process, we even uncovered a cannon ball from the Civil War that made headline news.” Excessive rainfall — three times the usual amount — has caused issues for the project.

In 2009, Atlanta Hall Management Inc. partnered with the National Football Foundation (NFF) to construct and operate the new Hall of Fame, which Dallas had hoped to secure during the city selection process. Formerly located in South Bend, Ind., the Hall of Fame was connected to a convention center and situated in the city’s renovated downtown district, 2 mi. south of the University of Notre Dame campus. It closed at the end of 2012. The NFF, a non-profit educational organization founded in 1947, runs programs designed to develop scholarship, citizenship and athletic achievement in young people. With 121 chapters and 12,000 members nationwide, NFF programs include the College Football Hall of Fame and the NFF Scholar-Athlete Awards. Its latest venture is getting positive reaction from athletes who are passionate about the sport. “The Hall of Famers we show this to are thrilled that fans will be able to celebrate them, and understand as never before why they are Hall of Famers,” said Stephenson. tvsdesign photo “No matter what team you cheer for, you’ll Crews are currently working from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. each day. feel that this is your college football home“This has been the wettest year I can the completed facility will have a total eco- away-from-home.

Sean McMillan Joins Cowin Equipment Sean McMillan recently joined Cowin Equipment Company as an outside sales representative based in the company’s Mableton (Atlanta), Ga., office. Sean was born and raised in Mableton, Ga. After graduating from The Citadel in 1966, Sean started out in the plumbing distribution business. Years later in March of 1998, Sean’s uncle, Tommy McMillan, gave him an opportunity to launch a career in the equipment business. Tommy had been with METRAC for nearly 20 years and was successful in the southwest Georgia sales territory. When a branch manager retired, the owners asked Tommy to give up his sales territory and take the vacant position. Tommy accepted and promptly called Sean to join the METRAC team and take over his territory. He wanted Sean to take care of a customer base he forged strong business and personal relationships with. “It was funny … my first day I didn’t even know what a rubber tired backhoe was,” said Sean. Sean learned the business quickly and for six years he was successful in the position. In 2004, Sean left METRAC to help with his family’s food distribution business. He started with a role in sales, went on to head up business development and eventually became president in 2008. His responsibilities included p&l, finance, acquisitions and running two distribution facilities all while helping the company to grow from an $18 million business to more than $75 million business. Unfortunately, the economic downturn squeezed the profitability of the company, and after 30 years in business the decision among the family was to close. Sean said he started thinking about his career as a whole and

what his next step would be. “I’ve done a ton in my career but the root of me wants to sell,” said Sean. Looking for the right company with a diverse culture became a priority for Sean. His search brought him to Cowin Equipment. “Cowin’s been in business for a long time and I hooked up with Russ [Huber, vice president of Cowin’s Georgia branch],” said Sean. I realize the potential here and know this is a healthy organization. I’ve been very impressed with Russ’s leadership and with the sales staff Cowin has been able to build. In this business, you get talent, foster it and the business will grow. At the time we talked, Russ didn’t really have anything available, but he was able to acquire some approvals for rearranging a sales territory for me from Northeast Metro Atlanta to Augusta.” Sean said he’s really looking forward to being a part of the team and will be involved in the sale and rental of a diverse line of machines, including cranes. The Cowin rental fleet will be an asset for developing his territory, according to Sean. “As the economy comes back, renting machines will help to start relationships by providing a chance to work with the customer and prove the value and re-familiarize them with the Cowin organization,” said Sean. “And, hopefully rental machines will go on towards a rental purchase deal and then more machine sales.” When asked about his recipe for success, Sean said, “It’s all about building relationships.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)
