Scope Of Work
Known in college football as “The Big House” the University of Michigan’s football stadium is a historic landmark built in 1927. Less than 24 hours after the last game in 2007, construction crews began renovating Michigan Stadium – putting their carefully developed scheduling plan into action.
Split into three construction “seasons,” the first year focused on the installation of new underground utilities, foundations, erection of the structural steel, and new construction of service buildings around the concourse. Barton Malow self-performed concrete services to help with the fast-paced schedule.
Year two was focused on building enclosure with the installation of the brick, glass, and roof along with safety code updates.
Year three included interiors completion and the demolition of the existing press box, which was filled with new club seating. Renovating and expanding the stadium brought two sideline structures with 81 suites, 2,952 club seats, a media area, game operations, commissary, and two upper concourses along with 22 new freestanding buildings consisting of restrooms, concessions, and service buildings.
