Barton Malow Co.

Scope Of Work

Barton Malow, together with joint venture partner Walsh, was contracted by Northwestern University to construct a new lakefront facility that unites the Northwestern community by providing student-athletes with state-of-the-art amenities and resources while promoting interaction between Northwestern Athletics and other members of the university. The Ryan Walter Athletics Center (RWAC) features indoor practice, competition and recreation venues, an auditorium, sports medicine center, nutrition center, and designated locker rooms and training spaces for Division 1 and intramural sports.

The new RWAC exemplifies an extraordinary project on all levels, from the initial site to the unique structure and the construction methods utilized to make the design come to life.
