University Park, PA

SWSG provided structural engineering services for cold-formed steel of exterior and interior framing for a new 720,000 SF multi-level sports arena building (150 feet high). Innovative changes to the exterior were made to wall studs to convert them to trusses which allowed elimination of costly steel intermediate support posts.
