Indian Wells Tennis Garden, New Stadium 2


Abstract eng:
The Indian Wells Tennis Garden (IWTG), located in Indian Wells, California, is home of the BNP Paribas Open, the biggest tennis tournament outside the Grand Slams. In 2014, IWTG had a major renovation adding a new 8,000-seat Stadium and an extensive site expansion. The stadium includes concession stands, three quick serve restaurants, and three fine dining restaurants facing the courtside, two of which offer a five star fine dining experience. The $95M project is the culmination of an innovative Design-Build approach. The complexity of this project was heightened by a strict deadline. The project had to be constructed within 10 months and 10 days without interfering with either the 2013 or 2014 BNP Paribas Open Tennis Tournament. Objective that was accomplished by a close collaboration of the design team, architect, contractor, subcontractors and owner. This paper describes the design, construction challenges, and lessons learned throughout the course of this project. Given the potential sensitivity of spectators to vibrations transmitted through the structure, vibration studies were undertaken to ensure that both the upper precast concrete bowl and the upper podium level steel framing were stiff enough to provide an acceptable level of performance. Theses vibration studies utilized finite element modeling and time-history analysis, combined with other methods.
