Project Elements:
George & Associates provided civil engineering design services for the new Multipurpose Building – Indoor Tennis Court Facility at FSU that includes six state-of-the-art indoor tennis courts for practice and tournament use. The site design required enhanced stormwater treatment and attenuation since the site is located in a closed basin. G&A accomplished this through the use of intensive geotechnical studies to develop a “sand chimney” system for improved stormwater treatment and recovery. The five acre site design required a delicate balance between retrofitting portions of the FSU Aquatic Center and providing an adequate buffer and transition into an adjacent residential neighborhood.
