Project information
Our team renovated the UC Bearcats’ multi-purpose arena, transforming its seating layout into a modern 360-degree bowl for 12,012 fans. Upgrades included new concessions, an upper-level concourse, premium seating options, locker rooms, expanded food options, and a new main entrance and plaza. The arena, which we delivered early, is LEED® Silver certified.
