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.

United States/Mexico border near El Paso, Texas
Completed 1855
William Emory was an 1831 graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. When the Mexican War broke out, he was assigned as chief engineer officer to General Stephen Kearny, whose army traversed largely unknown territories in the West. The U.S. War Department would later print 10,000 copies of Emory's Notes of a Military Reconnaissance, which made a significant contribution to understanding the geography and topography of the Southwest.
The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848 ended the Mexican War and ceded to the U.S. a vast expanse of land stretching from Texas to the Pacific and as far north as present-day Wyoming. The Rio Grande River became the official boundary between the two countries from El Paso east, but the treaty defined the western portion of the border only in principle.
It was the superb surveying skills of William Emory and the Emory-Salazar Commission that pinpointed the exact boundary between the U.S. and Mexico across some 2,000 miles of uncharted territory. The commission's pioneering work from 1848 to 1853 is commemorated by International Boundary Marker Number 1, a 12-foot high stone monument erected in 1855 on the west bank of the Rio Grande where the land border begins.
Facts
- The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ceded to the U.S. the territory that now comprises California, Nevada, Utah and parts of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Wyoming.
- The boundary marker is located on the west bank of the Rio Grande in the state of New Mexico, its five-foot base bisected by the international border. In 1966, the stone monument was refaced with marbleized concrete and a new concrete base was installed.

Lynchburg, Virginia
Completed 1870
The Fink Deck Truss Bridge is thought to have been originally used on the Norfolk and Western mainline railway. It was moved to its present location and converted to a vehicular bridge over a railroad spur in 1893 when the Norfolk and Western mainline was moved. It was relocated again in 1985 to Lynchburg's Riverside Park to serve as a pedestrian bridge.
As railroads expanded throughout the U.S. in the mid-19th century, engineers raced to design bridges that were stronger and longer, without adding too much weight. A number of truss systems were developed, including two patented designs by Albert Fink: the Fink Deck Truss, in which most of the supporting members were below the deck, and the Fink Through Truss , in which the truss members were above the deck.
The Fink Deck Truss Bridge in Lynchburg is the only survivor in the U.S. of this truss system that was widely used from 1854 to 1875. The patented truss bridge was a uniquely American structural engineering solution to the need for long-span railroad bridges to carry heavy loads. Important to the early days of railroading in America, the Fink truss bridges contributed significantly to the nation's growth and economy.
Facts
-The Fink Deck Truss Bridge, built circa 1870, is thought to have been originally used on the Norfolk &Western mainline. It was moved to its present location and converted to a vehicular bridge over a railroad spur in 1893 when the Norfolk and Western mainline was moved. It was relocated again in 1985 to Lynchburgs Riverside Park to serve as a pedestrian bridge.
- The truss consists of vertical and diagonal members (that are in tension) of wrought iron, while the top chord, supporting bents and floor systems, are of wood. The upper chord is untreated oak about 14 inches by 15 inches in size.
-Fink's truss configuration was used widely in railroad bridges, including large structures such as the Green River Bridge south of Elizabethtown, Kentucky and the 14th Street Bridge across the Ohio River at Louisville, Kentucky.
- Albert Fink and his brother, Henry, arrived in Baltimore, Maryland from Germany in 1849. He was initially employed by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad as principal assistant to Benjamin Latrobe, along with Wendel Bollman, another notable bridge builder. The Fink truss was adopted by Latrobe for all bridges on the B&O Railroad and the Parkersburg Branch.
- Albert Fink served as President of the American Society of Civil Engineers in 1880.

The Schwerbelastungskörper is a test structure built in 1942 at the direction of Albert Speer, to see if the ground here would be able to the bear the weight of the vast Triumphal Arch which the Nazi regime planned to build to commemorate the First World War. It is 14m high, its basements extend to a depth of 18.2m, and it remained in use for its original purpose until 1977, although several centimetres of subsidence was already noticeable by the end of the war.

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.

This shot shows the Central Portion of the Falsework; namely the pre-assembled 'goalpost' frame units that are crane handled into place onto the bridge, probably in groups of frames.
This assembly will match the length of the 'hanger platform' assembly that is bolted onto the ends of the 'goalposts' to create, for each 'goalpost' and 'headbeam', a Full Moment Connection.
