02/19/10 – Carver-Hawkeye Revitalization Underway

IOWA CITY, IA., February 19, 2010 — Knutson Construction reached the first major milestone at the Carver-Hawkeye Arena Renovation & Addition project, pouring the 16 inch thick practice gym floor, which is also the ceiling of the strength and conditioning space. The 460 CY pour started a little after 6 a.m. and was completed before noon - a seamless operation that involved 12 men in the field as well as project management staff from all three Knutson offices!

The Carver-Hawkeye Arena Renovation and Addition project includes updating the 25 year old structures HVAC, fire alarm system and elevators as well as renovation of the existing offices, meeting spaces, concession areas, fitness and weight training facilities, locker rooms and the wrestling complex. The 4 story practice facility addition includes two practice courts which will allow the University sports teams more flexibility for scheduling training. It also includes a new ticket office, an upper level club, staff offices, locker rooms, and a strength and conditioning area for the athletes.
