Burton Football Complex & Shenkman Training Center // Storrs, CT Size: 170,800 sf // Architect: JCJ / HOK Inc. University of Connecticut

Dimeo completed the Burton Football Complex & Shenkman Training Center for the University of Connecticut Storrs campus. The 170,000-sf building has an indoor practice field, fitness area, locker facility, meeting rooms, training/sports medicine facility and clinic, academic resources areas, and audiovisual and public areas. The 120-yard, 90’ high indoor practice field contains artificial turf and is partially illuminated by natural light. The 18,000 sf strength and conditioning area includes a mezzanine with a five-lane, 60-yard track, and the 4,250 sf locker facility provides space for athletes and coaches. The exteriors include brick, metal siding, standing seam metal roofing, and curtain wall. Extensive utility and site improvement relocations had to be performed before work on the building could commence. The project design received LEED Silver certification, the first college athletic project in the nation to earn this designation.
