Cover the Lewis & Clark College outdoor tennis courts with an energy efficient and “green” enclosure during the winter.
Solution:
Arizon designed an air-supported building to fit over the existing tennis courts at Lewis & Clark College during the winter months.
A LEED-certifiable and energy-efficient mechanical system, overhead skylight and ample insulation were incorporated into the dome’s design to greatly reduce operating costs.
Gray exterior fabric was used as requested by the college as an aesthetic preference.
The dome features a cable system to offer extra stability, safety & support during possible inclement weather.
Result:
Lewis & Clark is able to offer year-round training & practice capabilities- a major draw for prospective students.
Typically the first stop on recruitment tours, the dome draws top talent from across the country.
The Pioneers women’s team boasted several top ten recruiting classes after being installed.
