That will be a really beautiful baseball stadium. I hope ours turns out nearly as nice.

Plans for the baseball stadium are still very much in flux. A capacity of 7,000-8,000 is being batted about and a budget of $32 million has been proposed.
The rendering you posted is not set in stone, although I think it's a nice one. There's so much construction on campus at the moment that plans for the baseball stadium seem to be lost in the frenzy. The stadium will be built by 2018 but its appearance and capacity are still up in the air.

Nice! That will be huge for UK baseball, going from a 3,000 seat Cliff Hagen Stadium to 7,000-8,000 capacity...

How did you guys get all of those heavy lift cranes on site at the same effing time haha? I counted like 6 of them in one pic.
I'm taking CM classes right now so I find projects like this interesting. Just curious as to how the project has done with staying on schedule & within budget. Didn't you guys use some sort of innovative construction methods to speed up the build time?
Impressive shite though.

Still on schedule believe it or not. The budget I'm not sure about. I know they added another $35 million due to donations.

As far as innovation, I really don't think there's anything really ground breaking. Everything is prefabbed off site and delivered as needed. It's pretty standard for large buildings these days.
The schedule is around the clock a lot of time with weekends as well. That's a huge chunk of the budget for sure.

Yeah it's still impressive to complete a project of this magnitude between two football seasons. Prefabbing and 18-24 workdays helps a lot. I'm also assuming the GC will be receiving a nice bonus for finishing on time which doesn't hurt either haha.

Nice looking façade. Will it be ready by September or no?

Even with all the rain, I have yet to see any report that we were not on time or ahead of schedule. We should be good to go for Sept 12th. Worse case we have some finishing touches left on the interior like chandeliers, hanging art/graphics, stonework on the fireplaces, the waterfall, etc.

The whole project was planned using 3D computerized plans for all ductwork, wiring, everything. Everything that got shipped to the sight was bar-coded for an exact location. It made it easier to be sure that the subcontractors wouldn't be in one another's way. It is something of an innovation for that level of 3D computerized plans and prefab to be used in construction. Even 5 years ago, I think it would have been all but impossible to make this timeline.

Someone watched the Texags video (or saw a good summary of it). It was very interesting stuff.

Installing the field in the IPF...no checkerboard sidelines, though:

My understanding is you have a when issue more than a will issue. UK has a person who made much $$$$ off UK and it would be great to see them be the lead donor for the new stadium. if they are going project by project then it seems like once CWS upgrade is done it will hit the pipeline. Big issue is it will be smack in the UK land and may lose some of the Cliff support who can walk from the adding neighborhood.

USC's Dodie Anderson Academic Enrichment Center first opened in 2010...before that, USC basically had some rooms in buildings with folding tables thrown around, and computers sitting on top of them with cables all over the floor. The coaches didn't even take recruits there to show, because it was a terrible sight. Now the Dodie is a top recruiting tool for USC with all sports:
