New Projects: Pauley Pavilion; Heritage Field; Grand Canyon University; PPL Park

A roundup of groundbreakings, grand openings and building projects in development

On June 28, one year to the day after launching a $100 million fundraising campaign to renovate and expand UCLA's Pauley Pavilion, Bruins officials and dignitaries celebrated the project's groundbreaking. Designed by the Los Angeles office of NBBJ, the renovation will transform the 1965 building into a state-of-the-art multipurpose facility. Plans call for a new enclosed exterior concourse with a grand entrance; integrated graphics showcasing the UCLA athletics legacy; a reengineered seating bowl with better sightlines; a re-centered court flanked by newly upholstered and padded seating, as well as a new student section; expanded concourse, restroom and concessions areas; a new digital scoreboard; a new subterranean building featuring locker rooms; and the integration of cutting-edge sustainable features. While enhancing the industrial aesthetic of the existing building, the exterior design will integrate terra cotta rainscreen panels, glass curtainwall, frosted channel glass, glass overhead folding hangar doors and precast concrete panels. The existing iconic roof trusses will be visible from all sides, and a new lighting system will highlight them. The project is expected to be completed in the fall of 2012. . .
