Northampton Area School District – Stadium, Turf & Track

D’Huy Engineering, Inc. has been partnering with Northampton Area School District (NASD) for more than 16 years. In 2016, we completed the new Northampton Middle School. DEI served as the Construction Manager for this $56M middle school project, including supervising the details of how a three story building will fit into a tight campus hillside and wrap around the existing Northampton Stadium. Through extensive phasing and project management, DEI led NASD through the process of upgrading the stadium to accommodate a new synthetic turf surface, track and stadium lighting. DEI continued to consult with the architect and developed a second synthetic turf multi-sport field for the District. As the District continues to improve its facilities, we are proud to work closely with them to provide campus master planning and retainer services. Our most recent project with NASD was a new 86,970 square foot Lehigh Elementary School, completed Summer 2021.

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 under 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 th fall 2016 sports season. The Bethlehem Area School District Stadium proudly continues its role as one of the premiere high school stadiums in Pennsylvania.

CONCEPT PLAN:

D’Huy Engineering (DEI) has been the Facilities Engineer for the City of Bethlehemformore than 30 years and is responsible for the planning, design and construction of all new, renova- tion and maintenance projects for the District and its 30 build- ings. This work includes the development of concept plans for all athletic complexes including sports fields, stadiums, locker rooms, gymnasiums and pools. Bethlehem Area School Dis- trict Stadium was one of the first synthetic surfaces in the Lehigh Valley. DEI performed the concept study and cost esti- mates for this field and has since completed scoreboard, lock- er 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.

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 construction in the field for the project that was completed on time and belowbudget and received a LEED Gold Certification from the United States Green Building Council. existing building outline 12'

Andrew Leh Stadium

In 2017, DEI provided concept design, cost estimating and construction management services to install a new synthetic turf field inside the School District’s existing Andrew Leh Stadium. DEI provided oversight on all facets of the project including a new ticket booth, bleacher repairs, ornamental fencing and hardscape. The partnership 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.

Each concept plan was conceived through a collaborative process with multiple layers of university stakeholders. Each plan incor- porated the needs of competitive play, community activities and student recreational use. D’Huy’s attention to detail fo- cuses on total project cost and strategies for project delivery that were outlined in the concept plan provided the univer- sity with the confidence to retain D’Huy for the subsequent design and construction phase services.

D’Huy Engineering, Inc. was retained by Penn State University’s Berks Campus in 2008 to complete a feasibility study for the design of an athletic facilities campus, a study for the campus’s synthetic turf field and athletic complex. 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 and walking track, and is served by 365 seat bleachers built into an existing bank located off a main walkway through campus. The new facility, besides hosting school events, has become a focal point and gathering place for the campus community.
