Challenge:

• Enclose seven outdoor tennis courts with an air-supported building that can directly attach to a conventional building that houses changing rooms and other amenities.

Solution:

• Arizon designed, manufactured and installed an open-span air-supported structure to serve as an indoor competition and training venue for the University of Indianapolis tennis program.
• The facility features Arizon’s energy efficient mechanical equipment which uses an Air-Rotation System® to provide optimum temperatures throughout the year.
• The fabric skylight allows management to significantly decrease the need for artificial lighting during daytime hours, resulting in further energy savings.

Result:

• The University of Indianapolis was able to construct a permanent indoor tennis facility for the Greyhounds for roughly 1/3 of the cost of a conventional building.
• The university is also able to provide an indoor facility to the local tennis community by offering daily court time to the public for recreational play and lessons.
