the game experience. In addition, it anchors the The Battery AtlantaTM, a 1.5-million-square-foot mixed-use destination for sports, dining and entertainment.
SunTrust Park, the new home to the Atlanta Braves, is on the leading edge of modern Major League Baseball stadium design. Along with traditional seating and conces-sions, it features social gathering spaces including a three-level restaurant, rooftop bar, terrace, clubhouse and deck. All of which have open windows and walls to enhance
The McKenney’s team, in charge of installing the stadium’s mechanical systems, stepped up to the plate to meet an extremely aggres-sive construction schedule that couldn’t be delayed. Virtual construction and BIM coor dination helped simulate the complex’s structure, reducing installation time and expediting construction.
As part of a massive team, McKenney’s col-laborated with a wide range of tradesmen, pre-fabricated much of the piping and sheet metal assemblies offsite—reducing installation time and allowing field supervisors to focus on
short-interval planning and outfitting crews.
The work was compartmental-ized into six distinct projects, each with its own supervisor, to accommodate
