Arena Auditorium and Athletic Facilities Renovations โ€“ University of Wyoming

Laramie, WY
Construction Cost: $10.9 million
Occupancy Date: November 2014

Upgrades to Arena Auditorium focused on two critical areas: fan amenities in the seating bowl and student-athlete enhancements and support spaces. The project included expanding the existing arena floor to accommodate multiple practice courts and provisions for floor-level ADA access. The seating has been brought closer to the sidelines with retractable platforms and floor chairs for a more intimate fan environment. This includes enhanced seating zones with deep rows and wide, padded chairs. Two 40-foot-long videoboards, a new sound system and LED sports lighting create a dynamic arena environment.

The menโ€™s and womenโ€™s basketball locker rooms received a complete remodel, incorporating space for team gathering, student-athlete study and coaching instruction. Both locker room environments have direct access to additional renovated support spaces, including larger team/media areas, a film room, sports medicine facilities, and strength and conditioning areas.

Also included in the interior improvements for athletic spaces were upgrades to the wrestling locker area and football coachesโ€™ offices. New, dedicated lounge and cardio spaces transform the existing wrestling locker room into a key recruiting tool and provide student-athletes with ample lounge and study space.
