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.
The Coastal Carolina University Softball and Baseball Complex project by Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood consists of demolition and replacement of the current stadium in an effort to achieve the Chanticleer program’s goal of providing top-rate facilities for student athletes that emulate the “Coastal” feeling.
Improvements include new team facilities, recessed dugouts, 2,500-spectator seating capacity, restrooms, full-service concessions, novelty sales area, press box with work space for media personnel, premium box and suite areas, clubhouse and locker room for athletes along with coaches and umpires and potential upgrades to the lights, scoreboard and existing landscape.
This facility was designed in collaboration with Populous.

This was my first job after graduating. I worked closely with foremen and carpenters to get the levels and locations of piles and foundations right. This meant “dumpy” level and theodolite work in all weathers, outside on the Thames mud from before dawn till after dusk.
My boss, known as “The Barrowboy Agent”, was not pleased to see me arrive on site. The first thing he said to me was “I didn’t want to ****ing 'ave you here. You’ll be ****ing useless to me. But if you do your job without bothering me I’ll keep off your ****ing back!” And that’s how it was. However he did comment on my possible continued existence on this Earth when I once got the height of a river wall wrong by 7 mm. But he also gave me some very good advice, that I was to remember throughout my career “Those ****ers out there think you’re a ****. Never imagine they don’t!”.

Vicksburg, Mississippi
Completed 1929
Former skeptics became ardent enthusiasts as WES rapidly pushed back the frontiers of both applied and theoretical hydraulics research.
- Larry Carruth Chairman, History & Heritage Committee, ASCE Mississippi Section, 1986
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Waterways Experiment Station (WES) was created as a result of the tragedy of the 1927 Mississippi River flood, one of the most horrific floods in American history. The devastation affected seven states, but Mississippi, Louisiana, and Arkansas were hardest hit. Over 16 million acres were flooded, 162,000 homes damaged, and 9,000 homes completely destroyed.
Congress established the WES in 1929 to provide research support for the Mississippi River and Tributaries Project, a vast flood control plan for the entire lower Mississippi valley. Even during its fledgling years, however, the organization began to fundamentally transform hydraulics research in the U.S.
The WES laboratory complex has grown into the principle research, testing, and development facility of the Corps of Engineers. The complex of five laboratories supports in-depth studies of coastal engineering, dredging, earthquake engineering, geology, weapons effects, soil and rock mechanics, and more.
Facts
- Before WES, rivers and harbors work was based on field data and experience. No use was made of model experiments employing the principles of hydraulics. By the mid 1930s, the laboratory's reputation as a major research center had been affirmed and small-scale hydraulics research was firmly established as an important part of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' civil works program.
- Another way that the WES has made significant contributions to the civil engineering profession is through the publication and distribution of over 3,000 research reports. In addition, principles, practices, and techniques developed in the WES laboratories have resulted in countless advancements in the planning, construction, and maintenance of the nation's water transportation infrastructure.

Troy, New York was the wellspring of America's industrial revolution. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute was the first, best engineering school in the country in the early 1800s.
Here we see West Hall to the right, which serves as the westmost facade of RPI's campus on the hill above Troy. Behind us the slope drops a few more blocks to downtown.
Notice the absurd street design. Civil engineers have chosen to place a marked pedestrian crosswalk so that it leads to a grass berm. Perhaps this was a response to ADA requirements? It's silly to avoid the staircase, though, because the grass slope is no easier to mount in a wheelchair.
