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.

New York, New York
Completed May 1883
On May 24, 1883, with schools and businesses closed for the occasion, New York celebrated the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge. Also known as the Great East River Bridge, it was built over 14 years in the face of enormous difficulties. Deaths, fire in the Brooklyn caisson, and a scandal over inferior materials all added to the turmoil. The bridge is one of the most well-recognized symbols of American engineering, and remains the unofficial Eighth Wonder of the World.
John A. Roebling designed the bridge, but died before construction began. His son Washington Roeblingwas then appointed chief engineer, but became ill during construction; so his wife Emily Roeblingtook on some of his duties. It is possible the bridge would not have been completed without her meticulous efforts in inspection and management.
Facts
- The suspension system was initially designed in iron, but was changed to steel to reduce the dead load weight.
- The bridge's 1,595.5-foot span broke all world records for span length.
- The 276.5-foot towers took three years to complete and were higher than New York's tallest office building.
This was the first time that galvanized steel wire was used in cable construction. The four cables are each nearly 16 inches in diameter and each contains over 5,000 galvanized steel, oil-coated wires.
- "To guard against vertical and horizontal oscillations and to ensure that degree of stiffness in the flooring which is absolutely necessary to meet the effects of violent gales in such an exposed situation, I have provided six lines of trusses." John Roebling, 1854, Brooklyn Bridge proposal.
- Men known as Cable-spinners would use a four-foot-wide swaying catwalk to supervise workers as they inserted wires into the cables.
- The deck was originally divided to provide two elevated railroad tracks, two trolley car tracks, a single-lane road, and a 15-foot-wide walkway.

Pennsylvania/Maryland border to the Maryland/Delaware border
Surveyed 1763-1767
The granite milestones marking the Mason-Dixon Line bear crests from the two parties involved in the land-grant dispute, the families of William Penn and Charles Calvert (also known as Lord Baltimore).
What is now generally referred to as the Mason-Dixon Line was established by the Missouri Compromise of 1820 as a demarcation between slave and free territories. But that important geographic border took its name from a previous Mason-Dixon Line; one established more than 50 years earlier to formally separate Maryland from Pennsylvania and Delaware. The two Englishmen for whom the line is named accomplished one of the greatest surveying achievements of early America.
Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon were both assistants to astronomer James Bradley at the Royal Conservatory at Greenwich. They were brought to America to settle a border dispute between the inheritors of the land grants establishing Maryland and Pennsylvania. Taking into account the curvature of the earth, the pair carried out extremely precise measurements using astronomical tables and angles based on circular arcs. Their method quickly became the basis for establishing other town and state boundaries, as well as the U.S.-Canada border.
Facts
Mason and Dixon made use of relatively simple tools in carrying out their calculations. These include an instrument known as a zenith sector, made by an expert clock maker; a navigator's quadrant; a direction transit; an astronomical clock; wooden rods 16.5 feet long and equipped with spirit levels; and 66-foot chains.
The granite milestones marking the Mason-Dixon Line bear crests from the two parties involved in the land-grant dispute, the families of both William Penn and Charles Calvert, also known as Lord Baltimore.
The association of the Mason-Dixon Line with the border between the North and the South in the Civil War has led some to believe that "Dixie," a common nickname for the South, refers to the distinction drawn by the line. More reliable sources, however, trace the origins of "Dixie," and "Dixieland," to the use of French currency in the early 18th century in New Orleans -- in many ways the capital of the South before the Civil War -- where "dix," the French word for "ten," was printed on ten-dollar bills.
