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.

Newark, New Jersey
Completed October 1, 1928
(D)etails of traffic control have been so completely worked out as to eliminate any possible conflict between scheduled air line operations and racing activities...
- Major John Berry, An Air Terminal Extraordinary, 1930
In May 1927, the same month of Charles A. Lindbergh's famous transatlantic flight from New York to Paris, a fact-finding commission appointed by the U.S. Secretary of Commerce concluded that Newark would be the ideal location for an airfield to serve the greater New York/New Jersey metropolitan area.
Civic leaders wasted no time; construction began on the Newark Airport in January 1928. Nine months and $1,750,000 later, 68 acres of soggy marshland had been filled and converted to an airport.
The new airport featured the nation's first hard-surface runway-1,600 feet long, covered with asphalt-and a 120-square-foot hangar. Newark was designated as the airmail terminus for the eastern U.S. in 1929 and scheduled passenger service also started then. By the fall of 1930, it was the world's busiest commercial airport. Today, expanded many times over, Newark Airport continues to serve millions of passengers and transfer tons of cargo each year.

I went for a visit to Derby for their comedy festival and to spend the weekend with Gemma.
Saturday morning we went to Belper to the river gardens and the horseshoe weir, which is an incredible piece of civil engineering!
The gardens are lovely and tranquil. It was a great little alternative to our usual trip to Dovedale - which we called off because the weather wasn't great.
Had a lovely morning though!
Charlestown, Massachusetts and Portsmouth, Virginia
Completed March 1834
Baldwin's dry dock in Virginia (shown in an artist's depiction of the inaugural docking of the USS Delaware) has been designated a National Historical Landmark and is still in use at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard. The Charlestown dry dock and original pump house, while no longer used, are on display as part of the Boston National Historical Park.
Although the need for dry-docking facilities to speed the cleaning and repair of ships in America's naval fleet was apparent as early as 1789, it was the War of 1812, and the burning of Washington, D.C., that finally convinced Congress of the importance of a coastal defense system based on a strong navy. It was not until 1827, however, that Secretary of the Navy Benjamin Southward finally commissioned Loammi Baldwin, Jr., to design and construct dry docks at the mouth of Chesapeake Bay and in Boston Harbor.
Built from a single set of plans and at a total cost of $1.6 million, the pair of docks were of a size and complexity previously unknown in the United States. Measuring 314 feet in length and 100 feet in width, the two projects together consumed seven years of effort and nearly a million cubic feet of New England granite. Adapting European techniques to available materials and technology, Loammi Baldwin, Jr., created an early monument to civil engineering in America that also strengthened the young country's naval capabilities.
Facts
- Modifying European construction in iron, Baldwin designed inner gates of wood shaped in a convex curvature as bracing against tidal forces, a concept also employed in the concrete arched dam.
- With dry docks full of water, a ship was floated into place, then stabilized with supports. After the gates of the dry dock were closed, water was pumped out. Driving a set of eight lift pumps with a combined capacity of 18,000-cubic-feet per hour, steam engines could empty a dock in six hours.
- The granite for both projects was mined and finished in Quincy, Massachusetts, hauled on the Granite Railway to the Neponset River, then transported by barge to Charlestown and by ship to Portsmouth, Virginia.
- Baldwin supervised construction of the Boston dry dock in summer months and the Virginia dry docks in winter, otherwise leaving a principal assistant in charge; for his services, Baldwin was paid a salary of $4,000 a year.
- Baldwin's dry dock in Virginia has been designated a National Historical Landmark and is still in use at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard. The Charlestown dry dock and original pump house, while no longer is use, are on display as part of the Boston National Historical Park.

Akron, Ohio
Completed 1929
Wind dynamics were a major consideration in building such a huge structure. When winds blow against the building, they are deflected up over the roof, creating a partial vacuum that can draw the roof up with a force several times greater than the direct force of the wind. Wind tunnel testing on a model helped designers decide that a semi-parabolic shape would best resolve air current concerns.
The Goodyear Airdock was designed by the Goodyear-Zeppelin Corporation as the construction site for the huge U.S. Navy airships, the USS Akron and USS Macon. Each airship (also called a dirigible or a blimp) was 785 feet long. However, the building was designed to house an airship considerably larger than the two contracted for by the Navy. The company designed the airdock to accommodate an airship of 10,000,000 cubic feet capacity. The building was completed in less than a year for a cost of $2.25 million. The Goodyear Airdock remains among the largest buildings ever designed, in terms of obstruction-free interior square footage. It covers an area larger than eight football fields set side-by-side and is roughly as tall as a 22-story building.
The airdock has double doors at each end of the building. Each weighs 600 tons and rests on 40 wheels, set radially on curved, standard gauge railroad tracks. Each set of doors has an individual power plant that can open and close the doors in about five minutes.
Facts
- The building is 1,175 feet long, 325 feet wide and 211 feet high.
- The obstruction-free floor space is over 364,000 square feet.
- The last airship constructed at the airdock was the U.S. Navy's ZPG-3W, completed in 1960.
- The building is semi-parabolic in shape. The sections across it form parabolas and its longitudinal section also forms two half parabolas, connected by a straight line. The shape has been likened to a half of an egg or a silkworm's cocoon, cut in half lengthwise.
- The shell of the building is supported by 11 structural steel arches.

Mt. Washington, New Hampshire
Completed 1869
People thought inventor Walter Aiken was crazy when he proposed a railway to the top of Mt. Washington. Aiken built a model of the roadbed and track with a cog rail system, but entrepreneur Sylvester Marsh is credited for launching the Cog Railway and bringing Aiken's ideas to fruition.
In 1858 Marsh applied to the New Hampshire Legislature for a charter to build and operate the steam railway and was granted permission in 1859. Legend has it that an amendment was added offering permission to extend the railway to the moon.
Work started in earnest in 1866 after the Civil War. The route follows a prominent ridge that runs from the base to the summit. The first train reached the summit on July 3, 1869 and has operated as a tourist attraction ever since.
Facts
- The summit of Mt. Washington is 6,288 feet above sea level, the highest peak in the Northeast United States. Mt. Washington is considered to have some of the world's most extreme weather.
- All construction supplies had to be hauled in small lots from Littleton, 25 miles away. Workers logged trees and built a cabin for their headquarters at the construction site. A water-powered sawmill was erected on the Ammonoosuc River, and felled trees provided timbers for the trestles. Total construction cost was $139,500.
The railway climbs 3,719 feet from the base station to the summit. It has an average grade of 25 percent, or 1,300 feet to the mile - the steepest rail line in the world.
- The maximum grade over Jacob's Ladder (a steep section about 2/3 of the way up) is 37.4 percent. This means that there is approximately a 14-foot elevation difference between passengers in the front and back ends of the coach.
- The engine's drive wheel has 19 cogs. As the wheel turns, the cogs mesh with the teeth along the central rail to draw the train up the grade, or, turning the other way, to brake its descent. The first locomotive was nicknamed "Old Peppersass."
- The railway is 3+ miles long, 3 miles of it on trestle. It takes a cog train 70 minutes to climb to the summit and one hour for the trip down.

Near Boulder City, Nevada
Constructed 1931-1935
In 1918, the U.S. Reclamation Service's director and chief engineer Arthur P. Davis proposed a dam of unprecedented height to control the devastating floods on the Colorado River, generate hydroelectric power, and store the river's ample waters for irrigation and other uses. A dam project of this monumental scale had never been built in America: diverting the Colorado River through four massive tunnels blasted out of hard rock; pouring 6.6 million tons of concrete to build the world's largest concrete dam; and building two giant spillways and four intake towers - all in a remote desert region.
In March 1931, the Bureau of Reclamation awarded the contract to a consortium of six large construction firms, called Six Companies, Inc., that bid together on the project because it was larger than any one could handle. Francis T. Crowe, Hon.M.ASCE was construction superintendent for Six Companies, Inc. and probably one of the premier dam construction engineers who ever worked in the United States. Working around the clock, they completed the dam two years ahead of schedule.
Facts
- Four 56-foot-diameter tunnels were driven through the canyon walls - 2 on either side - to divert the Colorado River around the dam work site. Ultimately, more than 1,500,000 cubic yards of soil and rock were removed from the tunnels.
- The dam is an arch gravity structure rising 726 feet above bedrock. It is 660 feet thick at its base, 45 feet thick at its crest, and stretches 1,244 feet across Black Canyon.
- Construction of the dam, powerhouse, and related structures required a total of 4,400,000 cubic yards of concrete, 45,000,000 pounds of reinforcing steel. The size of much of the equipment - including generators and steel plate penstock - was unparalleled.
To dissipate the heat generated as the concrete cured, over 650 miles of one-inch pipe were embedded in the concrete to convey refrigerated water. The cooling coils were cut off and filled with grout after each block had cured and cooled.
- On Septermber 30, 1935, Franklin D. Roosevelt officially dedicated the dam, saying, "I came, I saw, and I was conquered, as everyone will be who sees for the first time this great feat of mankind."
- The inscription at the base of the Hoover Dam flagpole reads, "It is fitting that the flag of our country should fly here in honor of those men who, inspired by a vision of lonely lands made fruitful, conceived this great work and of those others whose genius and labor made that vision a reality."

Trenholm State Community College is currently in the process of architecturally re-branding their Patterson Campus. Trenholm State Community College’s Automotive Collision Repair Program was moved from the Trenholm Campus to the Patterson Campus, and in doing so, will utilize an existing 18,727sf metal building/warehouse which was conducive for the collision repair area. Additional square footage was added to the building to encompass two classrooms, a resource room, offices, tool storage, and a paint shop. The paint shop consists of two new pre-fabricated paint booths, mixing station, and prep area A new façade was developed to enhance the overall appearance of the building. This building is the first of many to feature the new architectural style.
Trenholm State Community College’s Administration and Financial Aid Building project included a new metal retrofit roof and the renovation of an existing building that houses administration offices, financial aid and other student amenities as part of there “Student Success” center to allow for additional classrooms. The existing spaces were updated with new finishes and associated energy efficient mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work. A new entrance and sitework were designed to give a good first impression to students and administrators entering campus.
Trenholm State Community College purchased state of the art prefabricated welding booths for their welding program. However, the buildings electrical system could not accommodate the loads for the booths. Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood was hired to prepare the architecture and engineering drawings to allow the program to use their new welding stations.
Building B & Building D were renovations that include interior and exterior work, re-roofing, structural, mechanical, electrical, civil, site work, exterior lighting, new streets, repairs and alterations to existing streets and parking lots, landscaping, and sidewalks.

Built to cross one of the steepest valleys along the Douro River, the Ponte Maria Pia was the first major work to emerge from the French firm of Gustav Eiffel and Company, establishing Eiffel as an important bridge designer and civil engineer of his day. Resting on a parabolic arch spanning 160 meters, the Ponte Maria Pia was the longest iron arch bridge in the world at the time of its construction. The bridge's latticework construction reflects the later design of the well-known Eiffel Tower, erected in Paris to commemorate the International Exposition of 1900.
The success of the Ponte Maria Pia provided the inspiration for later bridge design throughout Europe, especially where steep river gorges had to be crossed. Among these are the Garabit Viaduct in France, designed by Eiffel, and the Luis I bridge, built on the Douro just upriver from the Ponte Maria Pia and designed by Eiffel's chief assistant, Theophile Seyrig.
