Gentile Arena Retrofit, Loyola University
Chicago, Illinois
Sports Arena
under construction
H+P designed a new 5,000+ seat bowl structure and arcade for Loyola University’s Gentile Center basketball arena. This retrofit was performed in conjunction with the 75,000 square foot addition for Norville Center for Varsity Athletics. Revit was used for both projects to facilitate coordination and communication within the design team, which was particularly helpful to meet geometric challenges on the reconfigured movable seating bowl and coordinate with the existing structure. The existing roof fully was also assessed for new hanging features and additional load capacities.
