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.
McKean County, Pennsylvania
Completed 1882
The workforce consisted of less than 100 men, yet they finished construction in just 94 days. Such speed was possible due to the elimination of scaffolding. Instead, iron rods were used to support construction of the trusses between the towers, and workers moved back and forth across the rods. A dangerous venture, yet no workers were seriously injured.
The Kinzua Railway Viaduct, built by the New York, Lake Erie & Western Railroad, was an iron trestle bridge spanning the Kinzua Valley. It was a critical structure in facilitating the transport of coal from Northwestern Pennsylvania to the Eastern Great Lakes region, and is credited with causing an increase in coal mining that led to significant economic growth.
Upon completion, it was the highest and longest railroad bridge in the world. The rails were 301 feet above the valley, with a total length of 2,052 feet. The $275,000 viaduct required a record-breaking 3.5 million pounds of iron.
By 1900, railroad engines were nearly 85% heavier, exceeding the capacity of the iron structure; so a steel replacement bridge was built using the original foundations. Freight service over the bridge ceased in 1963, and the bridge and surrounding area were designated the Kinzua Bridge State Park. Today the bridge offers pedestrians and excursion trains an exceptional view of the Kinzua Valley.
Facts
- Twenty iron towers supported the roadbed.
- Six of the towers were higher than those of the Brooklyn Bridge.
- Each tower was composed of four wrought-iron columns.
- The bridge required 110 masonry piers.
- The bridge was 10 feet wide along the top, but the tallest of the towers spreads to 193 feet at the base, giving the structure considerable stability.

Lamp standard by the Lion Foundry, Kirkintilloch.
Originally founded by former staff from the Saracen Foundry in 1880, initially under the name of Jackson, Brown, Hudson and Cuthbert. Changing the name to the Lion Foundry in 1885, the company produced a wide variety of decorative and functional cast-iron until 1984. They are probably best known for the iconic red telephone boxes and postboxes which were made there.
Composed from two RAW files, shot on Christmas morning, using a Nikon D40X. The files were stitched together using Photoshop "Photomerge".
To minimise the risk of tonal differences between the two originals, they were shot on manual, with a shutter speed 1/125 sec and aperture of F5. Camera sensitivity was set at the default of ISO 100.
Finished size is 2125 x 740.

Multnomah, Hood River, and Wasco counties, Oregon
Constructed 1913-1922
On starting our surveys, our first business was to find the beauty spots, or those points where the most beautiful things along the line might be seen in the best advantage, and if possible to locate the road in such a way as to reach them.
- Samuel C. Lancaster, Chief Engineer, Columbia River Highway
A project that combined great engineering ambition and burgeoning civic pride, the Columbia River Highway was built at the dawn of the automobile age out of a desire to bring greater attention to the growing population and natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. By the time of its completion in the 1920s, the 73.8-mile highway had become a textbook example of modern highway construction and an important commercial and recreational link between Oregon's coastal Willamette Valley and the inland areas of eastern Oregon and Washington.
The project's chief engineer, Samuel C. Lancaster, spent a year in Europe prior to beginning the Columbia River Highway studying the great mountain highways there. On his return, he initiated a program of cliff-face highway building with many innovative features designed to showcase the rugged Columbia River Gorge. These included a 390-foot-long tunnel with five arched windows; several light, graceful bridges; long stretches of masonry retaining walls; rustic parapets with arched openings; and pedestrian overlooks.
Facts
During the 1920s, the Columbia River Highway was extended to a total length of 200 miles. At the time, the Oregon Highway Commission reported that the highway was "probably the most difficult and costly priced [sic] highway construction undertaken in America," and estimated its total cost at $11 million. The highway was incorporated into the national highway system during the late 1920s as a portion of U.S. Highway 30.
Much of the original Columbia River Highway was changed during the construction of Interstate 84 in the late 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s. This included destruction of Mitchell Tunnel, with its five arched windows. When the Hood River Bridge was destroyed in 1982, public support arose to save the remaining 55 miles of the highway, 40 miles of which remain drivable.
Much of the original highway remains intact, including 17 bridges, seven viaducts, several tunnels, long sections of retaining wall, rustic parapets, arcades, and scenic overlooks. In the western 22-mile section, two recreational sites -- the Crown Point Vista House and Multnomah Falls Lodge -- are listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Memphis, Tennessee
Constructed from 1888 to 1892
The Memphis Bridge (now called the Frisco Bridge) comprises three spans across the Mississippi River. With a main span measuring over 790 feet, it was one of the longest railroad bridges in the world upon completion. The renowned George Morison, after whom the bridge is unofficially named, served as Chief Engineer.
The bridge was built entirely of open-hearth steel, a newly developed material at the time. Though the Bessemer process had revolutionized the steel industry after the Civil War by enabling mass production of rail-quality steel, inherent phosphorous impurities rendered it unsuitable for structural shapes that needed tensile strength. The open-hearth process, on the other hand, produced a superior steel perfectly suited for structural shapes like bridges and tall buildings.
Facts
This steel cantilever truss structure features a 790-foot main span and two additional 600-foot spans. Its 65-foot height above the water was the greatest clearance of any U.S. bridge of that era.
Deep caisson pier construction drove the first channel pier nearly 100 feet below the water's surface.
When automobiles became common in the 1930s, two cantilevered roadways were added to the bridge, one on each side of the railway. They remained in use until a new highway bridge was built in the early 1950s.

Cool for several reasons, including the fact that the wild "frieze" we see here acts as the supporting framework or "exoskeleton". Transferring the support function to the building shell allows for great flexibility in configuring the interior spaces.

The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) New Student Residence Hall was designed by Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood, Inc.
www.gmcnetwork.com/markets/education/higher-education/
Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood provided all of the architecture, interior design, civil engineering, surveying, and landscape architecture for this project.
With enrollment at a record high for the fifth consecutive year, The University of Alabama at Birmingham initiated the construction of a New Student Residence Hall to accommodate the increased demand for on-campus housing. The 215,000 square-foot residence hall is located in the heart of UAB’s urban campus.
Approximately 714 students live in the new U-shaped facility comprised of an eight-story tower and four-story wing that includes student common areas on every floor and flexible multi-purpose space. The 8 story tower provides the density of housing required for this urban residence hall to meet demand while the 4-story wing helps the building relate in scale to it’s neighboring buildings on campus without overshadowing them. Together they create a dedicated green space for residents with seating walls, a shaded pergola, picnic tables, concrete table tennis for recreation, and wooden seating boxes which conceal storm drainage inlets.
The atrium lobby provides access from both sides of the sloped site and includes large stairway commons, and a custom dragon scale chandelier to emulate the UAB Blazers mascot.

Denison, Texas
Completed 1943
The completion of the Denison Dam has provided America with another resource which will mean much to the adjacent territory and the nation at large.
- Major General Lucius D. Clay, Southwest District Chief Engineer, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 1943
The largest rolled-earth fill dam in the world at the time of its completion, Denison Dam eventually served as a prototype for dam construction in future U.S. Army Corps of Engineers projects throughout the arid plains of the American Southwest. Procedures and equipment developed during its construction are now commonplace in the sampling and testing of soils.
In particular, the on-site laboratory at Dension Dam served as the model for the Corps' Southwest Division Lab in Dallas, Texas, which has analyzed soils for more than 75 large dam projects and is considered a world leader in clay testing.
Designed originally to control flooding on the Red River and provide hydroelectric power during World War II, Denison Dam also contributed significantly to recreational opportunities and water-supply storage in neighboring areas of Texas and Oklahoma through the creation of a reservoir, Lake Texoma, that holds nearly six million acre-feet of water.
Facts
- Denison Dam contains a total of 18.8 million cubic yards of rolled-earth fill. It produces roughly 250,000 megawatt hours of electricity per year, while Lake Texoma provides nearly 125,000 acre-feet of water storage for local communities under five permanent contracts.
- In addition to two federally managed wildlife-refuge areas, Denison Dam has made possible 47 recreational areas managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, two state parks -- one in Oklahoma and one in Texas -- as well as 80,000 acres of open public land used for hunting.
- One of the most notable pieces of equipment developed at the Denison Dam soil laboratory is the Denison Barrel, a sampling device six inches in diameter used to obtain undisturbed samples in heavy clay.
- Prior to managing the Denison Dam project, chief engineer Major General Lucius D. Clay served in the Philippines with General Douglas MacArthur. After serving during World War II as Director of Material for the Army, he became Chairman and CEO of Continental Can Company and went on to become a Senior Partner with Lehman Brothers, a Wall Street investment banking firm. In 1976, General Clay was honored with the first President's Award presented by the American Society of Civil Engineers.
