Upon completion, CFM managed the construction of 32 different specific Olympic Venues. Included in these were facilities for track and field, equestrian, archery, water polo, soccer, field hockey events, housing, signage, the Olympic Village and media facilities.

    There were two significant approaches towards the architectural design of the 1996 Olympics. The first were the Olympic Games requirements for every venue. The second was the implementation of the recently passed ADA laws. After that it was the crash schedule that the firm was on.

  • DART Controlled Data Consolidation Center

    DART Controlled Data Consolidation Center

    As the architectural sub-consultant on the team, we were tasked with designing the new addition of the front vestibule, enclosed emergency stair, electrical yard enclosure, and covered walkway on the front the building as well as re-cladding the exterior in a new metal panel to distinguish the CDCC area from the existing facility. We designed the vestibule to be a secure entry for both staff and visitors and connect seamlessly in architectural style to the existing structure and new stair enclosure by using the same metal panel cladding on the exterior walls and the same store-front assembly on the vestibule and stair. This was a great project to work collaboratively with the rest of the team in a cloud based, BIM360 environment.

  • McAfee Pool at McAdams Park

    McAfee Pool at McAdams Park

    The program required relocation of the recreation facilities of an existing park due to the construction of an interstate highway system through the area, and the establishment of a concession structure for a new baseball diamond in the park. Space requirements were for a new swimming pool, wadding pool and corresponding bathhouse facilities, shaded spectator seating areas and shaded swimmer areas. The pool deck itself was set on a three foot earth fill.

    The entire pool deck was surrounded about the perimeter with double sandblasted concrete columns that provide structural elements for the bathhouse spectator and swimmer canopy areas and extend to provide lighting elements for redwood members. These benches not only provided seating, but are large enough to accommodate several swimmers who wish to use the top of these benches for sun bathing. The office area is completely glass enclosed, therefore, giving the pool manager visual control of the entire pool. The concession building for the baseball diamond was located several hundred yards to the south of the swimming pool area. A concrete press deck was elevated above the grade level, behind the concession area, under the roof slab to provide the press with an unobstructed view of the baseball diamond. The overhand of the structure provides shelter for the press and for spectators in case of rain.

The structure is sandblasted, cast in place, concrete with a precast concrete double-tee floor system. Gray tinted glass compliment the window opening. The roof utilizes steel bar joints with a suspended ceiling below. The ceiling height of the mezzanines, located at either end, has been through a portion of the sanctuary, creating dramatic high and low vertical volumes.Painted gypsum board partitions divide interior spaces. Dark stained wood pews with red cushions and matching carpet highlight the interior house of worship.

    Space and financial restrictions demanded frugal use of space, and the client’s request that the design provide an atmosphere compatible for casual or formal occasions, demanded an orderly, sensitive approach to arrangement and material selection.

    The solution was based on the concept of creating indoor and outdoor living with the use of extensive glass areas and controlled views.
