uilding team awards 2016 PLATINUM AWARD The performing arts center was designed to blend in with its surroundings. A bicycle path that encircles the nearby lake runs through the facility. The backlit fascia is meant to match the natural light at dusk. Illuminated panels mimic the local landscape. DAVID REVETTE/REVETTE STUDIO theatrical and A/V specialists conducted thorough reviews of the amphitheater’s audiovisual requirements throughout the design and construction stages. Acoustical consultant Jaffe Holden assisted on the sound parameters of the design. The covered area of the amphitheater is supported by eight trusses (each weighing 84,000 pounds) with four unique end conditions to achieve a maximum span of 190 feet. The covered area is designed to provide patrons with unobstructed views of the lake. Acoustically transparent fascia allows sound from the stage to reach the audience on the lawn with clarity. VALUE ENGINEERING BEATS THE BUDGET LIMITS The amphitheater’s original program was valued at over $80 million, but the taxpayerfunded contract was less than $50 million. Smart engineering and construction were imperative to meet the county’s goals for the building. The signature feature of the amphitheater is the pavilion canopy, which covers more than 5,000 seats and provides unobstructed views of Lake Onondaga. The design called for maintaining bolted connections in the fi eld, which allowed for swift erection to meet the project’s schedule. The pavilion’s roof design utilizes eight trusses with four unique end conditions; this system achieves a maximum span of 190 feet. Each truss weighs over 84,000 pounds and is supported by the steel at the stage and columns infi lled with 10,000-psi concrete. Ninety percent of the trusses are identical in their confi guration. Gilbane prefabricated the trusses off site. They arrived at the site in no more than three sections and were set in movable cradles for fi nal connection detailing. Completed trusses were erected in one pick, using a pair of cranes in tandem. Systems and spaces were shifted to save money. Relocating the fourth-fl oor Event Center to a lower level provides panoramic views of the lake and eliminated the need for two elevators. The third-fl oor mechanical room was moved as well, allowing the pavilion to be reduced in size from four stories to two, which saved considerably on costs. An average of 230 tradespeople were on site every day during construction. The project exceeded 200,000 total workerhours without a single recordable or losttime incident. —John Caulfi eld PROJECT SUMMARY PLATINUM AWARD Onondaga Lakeview Amphitheater Geddes, N.Y.
