Metal Building Exceeds Expectations

The administrators at Sanford Health wanted to create a premier indoor sports facility for local, regional, and national athletic training and develop a strong and unique image.

The first building constructed as part of a sports complex, the Sanford Health Fieldhouse had to meet a tight deadline.

When administrators at Sanford Health, Sioux Falls, SD, sold its Power athletic facility to the University of Sioux Falls and embarked on plans to construct a larger, state-of-the-art fieldhouse, they faced a very tight occupancy deadline. The timetable for the new facility was budget conscious and ambitious—it only allowed three months for design and six months to complete construction.

Although Sanford Health operates hospitals, clinics, long-term-care facilities, research centers, and other healthcare facilities in the Dakotas, Iowa, Minnesota, and Nebraska, its Power program, for which the new fieldhouse was intended, provides athletes and individuals access to a team of medical, athletic, exercise, and health experts to help meet their training and physical-conditioning needs. Sanford Power operates sports academies for young athletes and is home to the National Institute for Athletic Health & Performance.

Sanford Health chose Fiegen Construction, a design/build firm and a Butler Manufacturing (Kansas City, MO) authorized contractor, located in Sioux Falls, because of its past relationships on successful projects that accomplished design/build work quickly and cost efficiently. Sanford Health took advantage of Fiegen’s in-house architecture department to design the space. JLG Architects, with offices in Minnesota and North Dakota, was retained by Fiegen to serve as a sports-facility architectural consultant.

“We understood that for a project of this magnitude and schedule, we needed to clearly establish significant goals and objectives, identify roadblocks, and create a plan to follow through with our objectives,” said Jarrett Hallvin, project manager at Fiegen Construction. “We take pride in guiding our owners, subcontractors, and suppliers through a fast-paced process.”

The goals for the fieldhouse included: • Creation of a premier indoor sports facility for local, regional, and national athletic training that is protected from the elements. • House physical-therapy facilities, Sanford Power academies, sports-medicine outreach, and NIAHP professional services and research. • Develop a strong and unique image to serve as the focal point of a new sports complex.

UNIQUE CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS Following the design phase, Fiegen Construction assembled a uniquely qualified A-team of subcontractors and suppliers to meet scheduling goals. To ensure construction went smoothly, Fiegen used building-information-modeling (BIM) technology to track construction progress, allowing faster project delivery, improved quality, and lower costs.

Construction began in March 2012, enabling Fiegen to save Sanford Health thousands of dollars in winter construction and energy costs. The fieldhouse was the first

building constructed as part of the new sports complex on Sanford-owned land, which meant no roads and no utilities were in place. The seasonal construction savings offset the costs of building temporary roads for construction access.

In addition, the fieldhouse’s proximity to an airport posed a challenge—not only from a noise-control perspective but also coordinating construction equipment with Federal Aviation Administration flight paths and other construction happening in the area.

Butler’s Widespan structural system provided the 3:12 roof pitch that the 85,400-sq.-ft. structure needed to accommodate sporting events. “The roof’s clearspan framing system was an attractive feature for us,” said Austin Parks, construction project manager, facilities planning at Sanford Health. “It helped minimize the use of interior columns and maximize use of the interior space, which needed to accommodate many features under one roof.”

The multifunction facility includes: • 62,000 sq. ft. of professional-grade Tarkett, Whitehall, PA, FieldTurf, which can be divided into four quadrants for multiple activities at once • The latest technology for athletic performance, physical therapy, and research of injuries, such as concussions in football • State-of-the-art training facilities • Full-amenity locker rooms • Four batting cages • Space for multiple indoor-sports leagues.

The Butler MR-24 roof system protects the fieldhouse from South Dakota’s cold, dry winters and summer heat. Movable clips can assist roof movement under changing temperatures. To enhance the energy efficiency of the fieldhouse, the roof was painted with a cool-roof finish and accommodates additional insulation thickness.

To provide further insulation, Hallvin recommended Butler’s ThermaLiner insulation system. In addition to insulating against heat and cold, when paired with a

Duro-Last ® was founded on the idea of prefabrication, which greatly reduces scrap on the job site and makes roof installations much quicker. Later on, our founder, John R. Burt, created Oscoda Plastics ® to make resilient flooring out of manufacturing scrap. Recycling is just as important to us today – last year alone, Duro-Last recycled 3.5 million pounds of PVC.

perforated ceiling liner, it also offers acoustic qualities. Fiegen Construction is one of the first builders to use a perforated ceiling liner in this manner, so Hallvin consulted with Butler regarding vapor barrier location and installation.

“Without the turf and perforated liner in the ceiling, playing soccer and other sports in a facility of this size would sound like being in an echo chamber,” Hallvin said. “These features also helped reduce outside noise from the nearby airport.”

GREEK LOOK Sanford Health wanted to make a statement with the fi eldhouse, which would be the focal point of the nonprofi t’s sports complex. Fiegen Construction recommended Butler’s Thermawall wall system, with a fi neline panel fi nish that enabled them to hang pre-cast off of the frames of the building with exterior elevations, creating a Greek temple-like look. After 288,000 man hours, zero injuries, and 39 cranes and lifts in operation, the fieldhouse was completed on schedule. Hallvin credits the success to open lines of communication, a positive team working relationship, and mutual respect. “Through solid communication, we delivered an awesome facility in just eight months,” Hallvin said. Sanford Health administrators were delighted with the finished product. Fiegen is current

ly collaborating with them on other sports-complex projects, including the Sanford Pentagon, a basketball facility with nine indoor courts near the fieldhouse.

“When Fiegen proposed a metal building, we had preconceived notions of what that would look like,” said Ross Winkels, construction project manager, facilities planning at Sanford Health. “It’s a very nice facility and I think Fiegen Construction and Butler helped alter our expectations—as well as a lot of other people’s expectations—for the better.” CBP

Roof restoration systems Revitalizer restoration systems are said to restore the wearing surfaces of smooth- or mineral-asphalt and metal roofs to better than the original condition. The multi-purpose, asphaltic, liquid waterproofi ng membranes adhere to a variety of roof coatings, providing an additional 80 to 112 wet mils to extend system life. Using a cold-process, low-odor formulation, the process does not disrupt building operations or occupants.
