STADIUM RENOVATIONS
Gale provided planning, design, and permitting of the
renovations. We eliminated an undersized track to make room
for an MIAA-compliant synthetic turf athletic field for soccer
and football. Gale also incorporated a segmental block
retaining wall on the perimeter of the field to eliminate
several grade transitions and different surface types between
the field and the existing bleachers; the new wall provides
improved access and aesthetics.
The project required special care during design and permitting
because the stadium is located within a 100-year floodplain
along a tidal estuary and floods regularly. We also
designed all the systems to accommodate periodic flooding.
