Athletic facilities are unique structures in the fact that they need to house thousands of people for major events sometimes multiple times a week while lasting through years of continued use and being exposed to the elements. To achieve this level of capability, athletic facilities need to be built to last using high-quality materials that require little maintenance. Precast is the perfect solution for these facilities to help them stand a lifetime and be prominent structures on school campuses.

Case Studies

Producers in the PCI Gulf South regions have worked with both K-12 and high educational clients to create athletic facilities that met their unique needs.

LSU Basketball Practice Facility

This project consisted of a 58,960 gross square foot addition to the existing Division 1 University Basketball Arena. Precast was used to create a building form that acted as a natural extension to the futuristic form of the original arena and was used alongside a self-cleaning photocatalytic titanium dioxide admixture, to resist the impact of the adverse climate.

Dudy Noble Field

Built in the 1980s, MSU’s Dudy Noble Field was in need of modern renovations. 99 precast panels covering almost 8,000 SF with architectural precast concrete were used with an acid-etched finish to mimic white limestone.

LSU Tiger Stadium

21 pylons to act as gateways and ticket collection areas for the LSU Tiger Stadium. Precast helped complete the project on a tight project schedule, on a constricted site, with major architectural exposure.
