A2H designed and oversaw the replacement of bleacher seating at the University of Tennessee Martin’s Hardy Graham Football Stadium. The existing stadium seating had to be removed after deterioration and shifting of the precast support members from an earthquake.
The previous seating accommodated approximately 1,500 people and the replacement seating has a seating capacity of 637 including ADA and companion seating. All existing structural components were reviewed for earthquake damage and structural code compliance. The new bleachers were designed to meet updated codes and accessibility requirements while maintaining the seating requirements of the university. A new standing seam roof system and restroom screen wall were also installed to match existing finishes.
