Bethlehem Area School District Stadium

D’Huy Engineering worked closely with the District to plan and coordinate the replacement of this high demand, high profile stadium synthetic turf field. The new state-of- the-art turf was installed during the Summer of 2016 un- der the direction of D’Huy. The turf field along with a new track surface and additional stadium upgrades took place and were ready for use to begin the fall 2016 sports sea- son. The Bethlehem Area School District Stadium proudly continues its role as one of the premiere high school stadi- ums in Pennsylvania.

D’Huy Engineering (DEI) has been the Facilities Engineer for the City of Bethlehem for more than 30 years and is responsible for the planning, de- sign and construction of all new, renovation and maintenance projects for the District and its 30 buildings. This work includes the development of concept plans for all athletic complexes including sports fields, stadiums, locker rooms, gymnasiums and pools. Bethlehem Area School District Stadium was one of the first synthetic surfaces in the Le- high Valley. DEI performed the concept study and cost estimates for this field and has since completed scoreboard, locker room, bleacher, track and press box upgrades. The concept planning, cost estimating and permitting of the Freedom High School soccer field and track venue was also performed by DEI including solar parking canopies for the complex.

D’Huy Engineering Inc. worked closely with Bethlehem Area School District to establish a master plan, design and budget for the construction of a new lighted multi-sport synthetic turf field and small stadium, as well as a separate synthetic track facility at Freedom High School. D’Huy took the lead on coordinating utility relocations and overseeing construction improvements. This project was completed and ready for the beginning of the Fall 2016 sports season. These facilities have created a new point of focus and pride for Bethlehem Area School District, the Freedom High School campus and the greater Bethlehem area community.

G E N O A S T R E E T D’Huy Engineering completed the concept study and cost estimating and managed the construction of a multi- phased project to replace the existing Nitschmann Middle School and a synthetic multi-sport performance field with spectator seating in 2019. The entire project commenced with a $2M grant obtained by DEI for the District from the Department of Community and Economic Development. DEI’s concept plans were used by the District to retain the design team and perform the design. DEI managed the con- struction in the field for the project that was completed on time and below budget and received a LEED Gold Certifica- tion from the United States Green Building Council. existing building outline 12'

DEI provided oversight on all facets of the project including a new ticket booth, bleacher repairs, ornamental fencing and hardscape. The part- nership between DEI and the District and Coordinated Health made it possible to replace the existing synthetic turf field for the opening of the stadium prior to the 2017 sports season. DEI also managed the replacement of a grass field with a new synthetic turf field inside the Nazareth Middle School track. This project was completed on time and under budget.

Project Experience and References - Penn State University

Concept Studies Cost Estimating Design / Contractor Engagement Construction Oversight D’Huy Engineering was retained by Penn State University for concept planning and ultimately design services for athletic im- provements at two satellite campuses. Each concept plan was conceived through a col- laborative process with multiple layers of university stakeholders. Each plan incor- porated theneeds of competitive play, com- munity activities and student recreational use. D’Huy’s attention to detail focuses on total project cost and strategies for project delivery that were outlined in the concept plan provided the university with the con- fidence to retain D’Huy for the subsequent design and construction phase services.

DEI’s services helped provide a new lighted synthetic turf field for students to play soccer, rugby and intramural sports. The field is surrounded by a low fence andwalking track, and is served by 365 seat bleachers built into an existing bank located off a main walk- way through campus. The new facility, besides hosting school events, has become a focal point and gathering place for the campus community.

“D’Huy has always put the needs of our students first. Our High School project had many challenges because we basically built the new building on top of the old building.

Because of them, our students and community is greatly benefiting from our new High School.”

Concept Planning

D’Huy Engineering provides a variety of services to conceptualize athletic projects, assess site and feature options and predict the costs: • Permit and code assessments • Multi-sport athletic surface products, layout and details • Accessory/support building layout • Mechanical/electrical and data considerations • Property assessments and municipal land development and PADEP requirements

• Site topographic and boundary surveys • Colored concept renderings and site plans • Existing facility assessments • Budgets, procurement strategies and construction timelines

CASE STUDY: Nazareth Area School District Baseball Field For years, the Nazareth Area School District worked to find a home for its baseball program. The District used the local borough park for many years which created scheduling conflicts and physical constraints for players and spectators. D’Huy generated a series of concept plans for a new field on separate sites in the area and compared the costs and benefits to a capital project to upgrade and modify the existing borough field. On the basis of the analysis and the input on D’Huy’s conceptual drawings, the District elected to build a new field on existing property to meet its needs. D’Huy performed the design, permitting, bidding and construction management of the new baseball facility opened in 2019.
