PROJECT: Brewer Fieldhouse and Natatorium
OWNER: University of Missouri-Columbia
CHALLENGE: McClure conducted a preliminary study of the existing facility that revealed
lack of space, dated amenities and poor quality of air-conditioning. A project feasibility
study led to a renovation and new construction project. We could not interrupt access to
the current facility during construction, so the project was constructed in phases to
minimize potential downtime.
CONSTRUCTION COST: $40 million, renovation and new addition
BUILDING SIZE: 293,000 sq ft
SCOPE: The schematic design for construction, renovation and addition to the existing
student athletic and fitness center included: two new natatoriums; 50 meter competition
pool and diving complex, with spectator seating; indoor and outdoor leisure pool areas,
with a themed water park; locker rooms; cardio-fitness area; 42-foot climbing and bouldering
wall; racquetball and squash courts; performance studios; and meeting rooms. The project
also included the renovation of the existing fieldhouses, weight training areas, and offices,
air conditioning of the renovated facility, and a 2,000 ton chilled water plant.
APPROACH: Due to the owner’s desire for minimal downtime for the existing facility,
McClure’s planning and foresight was essential to the development of a feasible plan for
phasing the construction work. Special attention had to be paid to the routing of all utilities
in the early phases, so that there would be no re-working of the utilities during the later
phases. Temporary utility services also needed to be established in areas where demolition
was going to affect the utilities to the existing facility. McClure was also able to eliminate
antiquated building systems during the project, which provided the owner with additional
benefits in reduced maintenance costs for maintaining old equipment.
