A $70.0 M, 5-story building for the University of Kentucky. This facility will serve as the administrative headquarters for the Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food, and Environment (CAFE). Features will include a large teaching kitchen, dining area, lobby, classrooms, student lounge, offices, and conference rooms.
The new facility replaces the existing one, while preserving the early 1900’s historic facade which will be re-supported by the new structure. Founded on a combination of rock bearing footings and deep foundations, the superstructure is predominantly steel framed with composite floor deck. A tall loggia is featured on the north side of the building. A “floating” stair tower with architectural exposed structural steel is located on the southeast corner. The lateral system consists of steel moment frames to keep maximum floor space flexibility.

The new press box at Hilltopper Football Stadium is designed to be a first-class facility for media coverage, situated above the existing Harbaugh Club. It will house television broadcast booths, radio booths, a new President’s Suite, coaches’ boxes, working press areas, and game operations. Due to limited depth, the new structure is steel framing spanning long-distances between existing concrete columns. Additionally, a new “tub” floor cantilevers off the front of the building, providing premium spectator seating with an excellent view of the football field. The project is on schedule to be completed and ready for use within one off-season.
The new field house is a state-of-the-art facility designed to support multiple athletic programs. It includes a space for football team practices, locker and training rooms for the baseball team, and dedicated areas for the E-sports and forensics teams. The main structure is an 86,000 sq ft pre-engineered metal building housing the indoor football field. The remaining 36,000 sq ft is framed with structural steel and accommodates other functions of
the building. The two building types are separated by a continuous 3-inch expansion joint, making them structurally independent.
