The City of Hoover has seen enormous growth in its sports programs over the past 10 years and needed a new complex that would fulfill their existing needs, allow for growth and give the City the ability to create new revenue streams and take advantage of sports tourism by hosting large tournament events. Hoover had not built any new athletic facilities in 15 years. At the same time the City’s sports participation had increased by multiples of 200% - 500% depending on the sport. The growth was caused by increases in both youth and adult sports leagues, as well as the relatively recent popularity of additional sports.
The multi-purpose Finley Center, which connects to the existing Hoover Met baseball stadium with a covered walkway, is able to accommodate a full-size football or soccer field, nine regulation-size basketball courts, 12 regulation-size volleyball courts or six indoor tennis courts. It can also seat 2,400 for banquets and 5,000 for events with general seating, such as a graduation ceremony or concert. Additional features of the indoor facility include a recreational walking track suspended 14 feet in the air, an athletic training and rehab center, and a food court.
The Finley Center sits on a 120 acre site that GMC master planned and includes fields for soccer, lacrosse, football, baseball and softball, tennis courts, a play ground walking track and splash pad.
Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood (GMC) provided master planning, architecture, interior design, civil engineering, construction materials testing, and environmental engineering services for this project.

Bayonne, New Jersey, to Staten Island, New York
Completed 1931
As an engineering achievement in two-hinged, steel-arch building, the [Bayonne] Bridge is first notable for its great length, attaining at the same time a grace of outline hardly possible with any other type of structure.
- Engineering News Record, 1928
The longest steel-arch bridge in the world for 46 years, the Bayonne Bridge continues to be celebrated today as a major aesthetic and technical achievement. The 1,675-foot bridge replaced a ferry service which until then was the only means of crossing from the Bayonne peninsula to Staten Island. While providing this essential link in the transportation network of greater New York City, the bridge's mid-span clearance of 150 feet also allows for unobstructed navigation on Newark Bay, the main shipping channel to the inland ports of Newark and Elizabeth, New Jersey.
The engineering achievements of the Bayonne Bridge include the first use of manganese steel for main structural elements, several advances in structural analysis, and an innovative system of falsework used in its construction. Its design is one of many in the New York City area representing the work of Othmar H. Ammann, whose majestic George Washington Bridge was opened less than a month earlier.
Facts
- The Bayonne Bridge has been widely recognized as an engineering work of great artistic accomplishment. The American Institute for Steel Construction awarded it a prize in 1931 for most beautiful steel-arch bridge, and The New York Times, in a later tribute, said "there is a symmetry and fineness of detail about the Bayonne Bridge that is impressive and almost haunting."
- The bridge's design is based in part on New York City's 1917 Hell Gate Bridge, on which Ommann worked as chief assistant to noted engineer Gustav Lindenthal. In its time, the Hell Gate Bridge, at 977 feet, was the longest steel-arch bridge in the world. The Bayonne Bridge surpassed it by nearly 70 percent, and remained the world's longest steel-arch bridge until the 1970 opening of the 1,700-foot New River Gorge Bridge at Fayetteville, West Virginia.
- The design of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, which opened in 1932 with a span shorter by only five feet, closely resembles that of the Bayonne Bridge. After the opening of the Bayonne Bridge, the golden shears used in its ribbon-cutting ceremony were sent to Australia for use at the opening of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, then dismantled so each country could keep one blade as an historic memento.
- Calculations of secondary stresses helped make the construction of a structure as large as the Bayonne Bridge possible. These had tended to be ignored in the design of earlier bridges and were later checked by extensometers on the actual structure. Design calculations also included compression tests on the largest columns of manganese steel ever made.
- Falsework secured on solid rock below the water was used in the Bayonne Bridge's construction to avoid the need for heavy anchorages and abutment towers in the bridge's design. The falsework towers were made of material that was later used in the bridge.

This is an artists impression of the Regent Centre Metro Interchange. It was taken from the ‘Ainsworth Spark Photo File.’ Compiled between the 8th of December 1975 to the 12th of May 1977 it consists of artist's impressions, tender drawings, photographs of 3 dimensional models and plans relating to various Metro projects. Ainsworth Spark were Newcastle based Architects.
The file is taken from the Mott, Hay and Anderson collection, consulting civil engineers responsible from the Tyneside Metro light rail system and the Tyne Pedestrian, cyclist and vehicular tunnels.

There's clearly something missing in this shot, and no, they're not setting up for an Eddie Kidd style bike jump (do people still do those?).
This is a bloody tricky civil engineering project. The Churchill Way flyovers in the City Centre are sick and crumbling and they need to come down. They're not going to be replaced, and that's a whole other story, but that can wait.
The tricky thing is that they span some major roads and junctions which just can't be closed for months.
Instead, the engineers are working nights and weekends to cut the flyover into sections which are lowered on jacks to the ground and then relocated to a very close site to be chipped. It's quite a clever solution, and whilst I shudder to think what it's costing we don't have a choice. Let's hope it's all over soon.
