Collins, Colorado to be the home field of the Colorado
State University Rams, and to host other sports,
entertainment, civic, cultural and commercial events. The
stadium will be flexible, multi-functional, and designed
to comply with the applicable standards of the National
Collegiate Athletic Association (“NCAA”) and have an
estimated spectator capacity of 40,000 for football games.
The stadium will include a variety of program features
including; administrative and football operations offices,
luxury suites, club seats, club lounges and other premium
areas, concessions, operations offices, concession storage
and kitchen, public restrooms, building receiving area and
loading dock, ticket office, team store, locker room and
dressing room facilities, press box, audio/visual control
room, venue storage, first aid office, event office, and
other standard programmed space needed to support
the stadium.
The stadium will be sited along the south edge of
campus between Lake and Pitkin Streets in a north-south
orientation with a traditional horse shoe configuration.
The venue will be centered on Meridian with its open end
facing north creating a welcoming embrace to the campus,
providing connectivity to the Great Green at the heart of
the campus.
Throughout the stadium site, natural elements and native
landscape will be used to provide flexible gathering spaces
for different types of events as well as pedestrian and
vehicular circulation.
Schedule
The project has been approved by the CSU System Board
of Governors at the December 5, 2014 and approved as
part of the Two-Year Cash Funded Project List by the
Capital Development Committee on January 27, 2015.
Design work continues with construction to commence
in Summer 2015 in preparation for opening in August of
2017 so as to coincide with football season. See Appendix
B for Detailed Schedule.
Conclusion
By building a new multipurpose stadium on main campus,
Colorado State University will be able to create an
energized atmosphere for students, alumni and fans,

 PROGRAM INFORMATION
Vision / Mission Statement
Per the Stadium Advisory Committee presentation on
February 3, 2012, the vision was stated as this:
“Our stadium will be more than a football field. It can be
a gathering place for our campus and our community; a
landmark in which all of us take great pride”.
Programs
The multi-purpose facility will include a number of
programs to support the Vision and Mission Statement of
the project;
• Football Operations
• Football Game Day Operations
• Ticketing Office
• Team Retail Store
• Concessions
• NCAA Men’s and Women’s Soccer
• Lacrosse
History
In February of 2012, a Stadium Advisory Committee was
formed to review the feasibility of a proposed new, on-
campus stadium and multiple-purpose facility.
In the months following the formation of this Committee,
they convened five sessions, each held in public, to review
the work of retained consultants and university staff.
The Committee explored detailed analysis of possible
sites; suggested design and component parts; school,
alumni and community input; market research related
to the reception to a new facility and possible sources
and methods for funding such a facility. In addition, sub-
committees were formed to explore each of these topics
in great depth, and over 25 sub-committee meetings were
held.The Committee focused on the feasibility of a facility
that would accomplish the stated goals and live within the
constraints established.
The Feasibility Study was released on August 9, 2012 and
included the following information:
• The site selected and evaluation process;
• The vast input and resulting design of the stadium
including the program plan, stadium views, and
conceptual drawings;
• Specific narratives related to parking and
transportation as these are topics of particular
interest to the community;
• Costs and timing estimates;
• A range of financial forecasts representing the
results of extensive market research, professional
expertise and guidance, CSU historical experience
and considered judgments by a large group of
CSU staff; and
• Various estimates of sources of funding including
donations, premium seating, naming rights and
commercial interests.
In the first half of 2013, the University and its consultants
engaged to continue further study to create the ideal
project program based upon the findings of the Feasibility
Study. In August of 2013 the Design Phase commenced
to further design concepts relative to a 40,000 patron
capacity stadium. The work of this Design phase provides
the basis of the refined design, scheduling and project
budgets included within this Program Plan.
On December 5, 2014, CSU President, Tony Frank,
presented the project for approval to the University’s
Board of Governors. The project passed with an 8-0 vote
and the project team commenced with design to meet
the $220 million approved budget.
Program Needs and Trends
The general seating will be designed to accommodate a mix
of chair backs and bench seating. Included in each seating
section will be a concourse that will provide fan amenities
(restrooms and concession stands) and circulation to the
seating bowl. The stadium will also contain multiple types
of premium seating and club areas. The goal of each one
of these spaces will be to maximize the revenue potential
for the University.
Finishes in each of the premium spaces will be designed to
the appropriate level of sophistication, while balancing the
constraints of the budget. Foodservice and retail facilities
will be distributed throughout the stadium to support an
entertaining stadium atmosphere. The team facilities will
be located at field level for easy access to the playing field.
The majority of the football operation program will be
located at the service level allowing comfortable access
from the exterior of the stadium.
Some of the areas associated to this program will include:
a home team locker room, equipment room, athletic
training room, meeting rooms, coach’s offices, and
recruiting room. Administration and media facilities will
be accommodated at multiple floor levels of the football
stadium.
Ticketing, press support and press box spaces will all be
included as part of this project. A new pedestrian plaza is
planned at the north end of the stadium.
II. PROGRAM INFORMATION // 5
The plaza will be designed to engage the existing campus
context and provide graceful connectivity for students,
faculty, administrators, and visitors.
Benefits of the Project
Early in the work of the Stadium Advisory Committee, the
group collaborated and defined the following five major
benefits of the Stadium project to the mission of Colorado
State University:
1. Ability to develop strong game-day traditions that;
• Unify our community,
• Create lifetime ties with our students,
• Enable us to engage deeply with our alums and
donors.
2. Ability to attract quality coaches and athletes: catalyst
for football prominence.
3. Branding: Ability to generate national exposure and
recognition for our community;
• Contributes to increasing in-state and out-of-
state applicants,
• Delivers opportunity to enhance enrollment
standards,
• Contributes to our ability to operate as
a financially independent/self-sustaining
University.
4. Delivers a positive economic impact to the greater Fort
Collins community.
5. Delivers a multi-use facility to our campus and Fort
Collins; a landmark gathering place in which we can take
great pride.

Exterior and Interior Materials
North Exterior Facade
The north facade is comprised of a blend of Colorado
red and buff sand stone, modular brick and glass curtain
wall with clean and spandrel glass. This elevation borders
the north Great Green Plaza and frames views towards
campus. An iconic Rams Head is incorporated into vertical
stone elements to brand the north elevation.
East Exterior Facade
The east facade is framed by monumental elements on the
building corners. The east elevation will be a combination
of brick, glass and CSU themed scrim materials.
South Exterior Facade
An entrance centered on the south elevation creates
the opportunity for a plaza that acts as a link to the
neighborhood to the south. Articulated wall panels of brick
and stone flank the south entrance and are configured to
provide a pedestrian scale along the south facade.
West Exterior Facade
A hall of fame entry is located on the west facade that also
acts as an entry to premium patrons on game day. The
west elevation will include structures designed to support
the premium and press box levels. Materials include
sandstone and glass curtain wall and modular brick. This
building elevation has been carefully considered to take
advantage of the views toward the mountains to the west.
Interiors
The interior materials for the public areas will be hard
surfaces and require low maintenance. Interior materials
that meet or exceed the projects sustainable requirements
will be considered over materials that do not. Finishes at
public areas will include:
• Sealed concrete
• Painted gypsum board walls on metal studs or
painted concrete masonry units
• Exposed ceilings with painted structure or 2x2
acoustical ceiling tile
The interior materials for the premium areas will be a level
of finish that is appropriate to the level of sophistication
for the area. Interior materials that meet or exceed the
projects sustainable requirements will be considered over
materials that do not. Finishes at premium areas will include:
• A mix of carpet and porcelain tile
• Painted and plaster gypsum board walls on metal
studs with hardwood wainscot in select areas
• Painted gypsum board ceiling and 2x2 acoustical
ceiling tile
• Porcelain tile base
• Solid surface counter tops
The interior materials for the football operations areas
will be a level of finish that is appropriate to the level of
sophistication for the area. Interior materials that meet
or exceed the projects sustainable requirements will
be considered over materials that do not. Finishes at the
football operations areas will include:
• A mix of broadloom carpet and poured resinous
flake flooring in wet areas
• Painted gypsum board walls on metal studs or
painted concrete masonry units
• Painted gypsum board ceiling and 2x2 acoustical
ceiling tile
• Rubber base
• Polished quartz counter tops
Existing Site Analysis
The site currently provides primarily student surface
vehicle parking and pedestrian access. Meridian Avenue
currently runs through the site and will be relocated to the
East of the Stadium with the development of the project.
The existing Plant Environmental Research Center (PERC)
is located on the Southwest corner of the Stadium parcel
and plans are underway to relocate the PERC facilities.
Wet and dry utilities have been designed to connect
with both existing CSU and City of Fort Collins utility
systems. Ehancement to both private and public utilities
are included, as required.
This project may require a central plant provided within
the project scope.
Acquisition of Real Estate Property
No land acquisition is necessary; CSU owns the proposed
buildings and surrounding areas of the new multipurpose
stadium.

 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Civil Narrative
The on-campus location of the proposed stadium is within
what is referred to as the “PERC” site located in the
southern portion of the campus and an existing parking
lot, at the intersection of Pitkin Street and Meridian. The
On-Campus Stadium project will include construction of
a multi-use athletic facility with associated on-site and off-
site infrastructure including utilities, landscaping, sidewalks,
and lighting across an estimated 16.35 acre site.
The existing site generally slopes from the southwest to
the northeast at gentle grades ranging from 1 to 3%. Storm
water runoff from the existing parking lot in this location
is conveyed overland and collected by storm sewer inlets,
which route runoff to both the City of Fort Collins and
CSU campus storm sewer systems.
In the existing site condition, approximately 64% of the site
drains to the CSU campus storm sewer and approximately
36% of the site drains to the City of Fort Collins storm
sewer, but all discharges undetained into Spring Creek. The
existing site has an estimated overall percent impervious
of 72%, with site features being mainly asphalt paving.
Proposed grading and drainage patterns are designed
to mimic existing conditions as closely as possible. In
the current proposed site condition, approximately 59%
of the site drains to the CSU campus storm sewer, and
approximately 41% of the proposed site drains to the City
of Fort Collins storm sewer. The proposed site has an
estimated overall percent impervious of 83%.
Despite the fact that the impervious percentage of
the proposed site exceeds that of the existing site and
generates more runoff, full on-site detention for the entire
stadium site is not anticipated and water quality volume
storage is not anticipated to be required on-site based on
conversations with CSU and representatives of the City of
Fort Collins. That being said, water quality features will be
incorporated where practical into the site that will filter,
slow, and infiltrate as much runoff as possible from the
smaller and most frequent storm events.
With the exception of a very small portion of the site in
the northeast corner, the site lies outside of the campus
flood inundation limits as mapped by Ayres Associates.
Much of the improvements in this location are surface
features that are designed to mimic existing conditions and
elevations, and therefore should have a negligible effect on
drainage patterns and the existing floodplain. The finished
floor elevation of this portion of the stadium should be set
24 inches above the floodplain per the Colorado Water
Conservation Board regulations for a critical facility.
The playing field is planned to be a synthetic turf field and
we anticipate it will have an underdrain system to maintain
consistent moisture content in the soils and to remove
storm water runoff from the field. The stadium field is
expected to be constructed between approximately 5 and
10 feet below existing ground. Based on a review of the
Geotechnical Report, the existing groundwater is between
approximately 10 and 15 feet below ground. Temporary
and/or permanent dewatering of the site may be necessary
during construction.
Landscaped areas around the structure will slope away
from the foundation at a minimum 10:1 slope for 10 feet
and away from the building at a 2% slope in hardscape
areas. Generally, slopes in paved areas with vehicle traffic
will not exceed 5%.
Site erosion controls will be designed to implement
practices in accordance with the Environmental Protection
Agency and CSU guidelines for construction activities
storm water discharge
The maximum capacity of the sanitary sewer system
is currently estimated at 1,400 gallons per minute. It is
understood that the stadium will have three variable
speed booster pumps sized at approximately 450 gallons
per minute each. Two of the pumps will be in operation
for average day and peak flows, and the third pump will be
utilized as a back-up. The actual peak flows during a game
situation are expected to be 950 gallons per minute, which
is much less than the estimated peak of 1,400 gallons per
minute.
A new 15-inch sanitary sewer main is currently planned
south of the stadium site and routed southerly within
Whitcomb Street to a point of connection with either
an existing 18-inch or 24-inch City main located at the
intersection of Whitcomb Street and Wallenberg Drive.
The stadium site will be served by a new 8-inch domestic
water service line connecting to the CSU campus system
near the northwest corner of the stadium and two (2)
8-inch fire service lines near the southwest corner of the
stadium connecting to the City of Fort Collins system.
Additionally, the stadium project will construct a proposed
water main loop for the campus system around the west
and south reaches of the stadium to minimize head loss
through the overall system as indicated on the stadium
design drawings.
All water main materials and installation practices will meet
or exceed CSU and City standards and specifications. The
indoor stadium facilities will be fully sprinkled as required
by code.
IV. PROJECT DESCRIPTION // 15
Existing dry and regulated utilities are located north in
Pitkin Street and through the site. The existing electric
lines will be re-routed around the stadium as needed.
The maximum peak electric load is estimated to be 3.5
megawatts, as provided by M-E Engineers, Inc.
The proposed gas line for the stadium will need to connect
to an existing gas main to the southwest of the site at the
intersection of West Lake and Shields Street. The gas line
will serve the needs of the food service and concessions
and on-site steam production for heating.
All site roads and parking facilities are expected to be
asphalt or concrete, but may also include pavers and or
porous pavement materials as well. All paving and roadway
surfacing associated with the stadium project will be
consistent with industry standards.
The site layout is designed to accommodate semi-truck
and delivery vehicle access. Poudre Fire Authority and
the International Fire Code require a 26-foot fire lane for
aerial access around the site in case of a fire.The minimum
inside turning radius is 25 feet along this fire lane. To
accommodate fire access around the facility, it is assumed
some of the pedestrian walk areas will be designed to
accommodate vehicle loads.
The site shall be designed to accommodate ADA parking
and accessibility.
Site and Landscape Narrative
The new football stadium at Colorado State University
is more than a new stadium for football fans; it’s about
capturing the passion and ethos of the CSU campus.
Building on traditions and creating new ones to inspire
new fans, new students and a new culture of Ram football.
Bringing together alumni, students and staff on game day
on campus connects the attitude and pride that bridges
generations of CSU fans.
Historically, Meridian Avenue was an organizing element to
President Morgan’s physical master plan of campus: west of
Meridian is green, recreational and living; east of Meridian
is academic. For the most part this idea has stayed true
to the modern campus. The center of the new football
stadium is on the centerline of Meridian with the primary
connection ultimately being the Great Green; the main
space and heart of the campus. This axial relationship
influences the design decisions we have made and will
make as we proceed through the design process.
The North Great Green Plaza is the living room to the
stadium. Our intent is to have all natural elements flow
in from the great green into the new field of the stadium.
IV. PROJECT DESCRIPTION // 16
The goal is to create a memorable space that is unique to
the campus and the CSU brand. It will create a useable
campus space on the south side of campus that is flexible
for different types of events.
New Meridian Way will be a new, intimate street on the
east side of the stadium that defines this edge and creates
a new entry into campus. It will be closed on game days to
allow tailgating along one side of the street. The sidewalks
stay open on both sides of the boulevard for spectator
circulation. The northbound lane will remain open to
emergency vehicles and potentially disabled, limo and taxi
drop-off. Adding to the pedestrian scale and life of the
street, we propose large, deciduous street trees along the
edge of the street to create a canopy in the future for this
area.
Game day operations will be required to move a barrier
to the center of the street. We have located moveable
precast planters or stone blocks along the sidewalk that
can be forklifted to the center of the street on game day.
This edge on the west side of the stadium will be the day-
to-day operations and entry into the stadium. It will be
similar to a drive way connection from Lake Street to
Pitkin Street with 90 degree parking included for football
ops, service and potentially students.
There is a drop-off proposed at the center of the stadium
where the hall of fame and club entry is. This is an
important drop-off during game day and recruiting for the
adjacency of the VIP entry. It will contain sponsor pavers
and a future half RAM, half football player bronze sculpture
in the center of the space.
Similar materials of concrete, colored concrete, pavers,
stone blocks and pedestrian lights will adorn this side
of the stadium to create a site language that unifies the
ground plane. Native rocky mountain plantings will flank
both sides of the VIP entry with coniferous material and
stone boulders. There will also be space and pedestal
cabinets for Broadcast and ENG trucks on this west side,
and large semi TV trucks will park in the south drive aisle
of the existing parking lot.
Structural Consideration
After analysis of multiple structural system combinations,
the base system will be comprised of Cast-in-place
concrete, structural steel and both a pre-cast concrete and
sandwich place system seating units are being evaluated.
The building structure will be designed to meet the
requirements of the 2012 International Building Code.
Based on stadium occupancy, the facility will be designed
to the requirements of Structural Risk Category III.
The structure has been designed as a building frame system
with a combination of ordinary reinforced concrete
shear walls, ordinary steel moment frames, and steel
concentrically braced frames. The concessions/restroom
buildings above the main concourse are supported by
masonry shear walls that carry lateral load from the roof
down to the main concourse slab.
The west upper bowl is integrated with the suite tower
structure to provide primary lateral support. The east
upper bowl is essentially free standing above the main
concourse, with steel moment frames at each raker in the
east-west direction and intermittent steel diagonal bracing
along the back edge. The framing at the front edges of
both upper bowls will be moment frames. Where the
west upper bowl extends beyond the suite tower, it will be
laterally stabilized in the same manner as the east upper
bowl.
Proposed structural lateral load resisting systems for
seismic loads are based on soil site class “C”.
Because the building will be exposed to the full range
of exterior temperature conditions, expansion joints
will be required to prevent thermal distress. Expansion
and contraction of the seating bowls will be addressed
incrementally, with the seating units allowed to slip at one
end of each section, and the supporting steel connected
with slotted holes.
The back end of the bowl will be connected laterally to
the main concourse at the center of each bay to allow the
bowl and concourse system movements to be compatible.
Because insulation will be placed above the structural slab
and below the topping slab, thermal expansion of the main
concourse and below will be limited, however the topping
slab will require expansion joints at approximately 200
feet on center. Expansion joints will be designed to permit
movement only in the direction perpendicular to the joint;
the structure on either side of the joint will typically be
connected in the direction parallel to the joint to allow
transfer of lateral building loads.
Because the suite tower is fully thermally enclosed, no
expansion joints will be required. The upper bowl will be
connected to the tower similarly to the manner in which
the lower bowl and main concourse are attached. Overall
building joints will be provided over the full height of the
structure at grids 18 and 34.
In addition to the Contractor’s quality control systems
and periodic observations by the Structural Engineer,
the Owner will retain independent Special Inspection
services in conformance with the 2012 International
Building Code. Special Inspections and testing will include:
structural earthwork fill, drilled piers, concrete materials
and concrete placement, reinforcing steel, masonry walls,
structural steel including shop and field inspections, metal
roof deck connections and perimeter drain.
Mechanical Narrative
This narrative provides information to generally describe
the Mechanical systems. All systems shall be constructed
in accordance with all appropriate building codes and be
installed complete for a fully-functional facility. The design
intent is that the mechanical systems enhance the facility’s
flexibility of use, provide a safe and comfortable environment,
optimize energy consumption, and minimize maintenance
costs, all for the lowest possible construction cost.
Since the spectator and press areas of the facility will be
used rarely while the football operations areas will be more
frequently occupied, design decisions will tend to save
construction cost for the spectator areas, while minimizing
operating costs for the football operations areas. This will
provide the lowest life-cycle cost for the facility.
The following lists the systems included in this Scope of
Work.
• Cooling
• Heating
• Ventilation
• Exhaust including environmental, grease, laundry,
smoke

conditions and consistent with the Intent Statement
The base building HVAC system assumes that chilled
water and steam will be brought to the stadium from the
CSU central plant. The project team is also evaluating the
possibility of a stadium specific Central Utility Plant (CUP),
as well as self-contained HVAC units.
IV. PROJECT DESCRIPTION // 17
On site pumps will distribute chilled water to various
variable air volume air handlers throughout the facility.
Outside air and exhaust ducting will be coordinated
and architecturally integrated into the perimeter wall
layout. In general, systems (including building management
system controllers infrastructure) will be designed with
approximately 20% extra capacity to accommodate aging
effects of the system and for future flexibility. In addition,
extra space is to be provided at BMS controller panels for
future expansion.
The base assumption is that chilled water from the CSU
central plant will supply the stadium. Peak chilled water
consumption is based upon historical data from multiple
collegiate and professional football stadium venues.
Density and usage of Club and Suite areas typically drive
the peak loads within these facilities. Loads vary depending
upon glazing materials within the Suite and Clubs, and
orientation of the Suites and Clubs. Load profiles will be
modeled several times throughout the year depending if
the areas are solely used for football events or utilized for
non-season events, and peak condition will be reviewed
with CSU.
If expansion of the current central plant is not possible, a
site built central plant or self-contained HVAC units will
be required. This plant will operate as a variable-primary
flow plant. The primary pumps will be piped in parallel
such that any pump can serve any chiller.
Another base assumption is that the CSU central plant will
supply steam lines for heat to the stadium. If expansion
of the current central steam plant is not possible, a site-
generated heating water plant may be required.
All air handlers will be modular air handling units similar
to Trane Climate Changers. All units will be supplied with
full outside air economizer capability. Units shall be double
wall with internal spring isolation. The air handlers will
serve conventional overhead systems with terminal units,
primary air medium pressure ducts, secondary air low
pressure ducts and a combination of louvered face and
slot diffusers.
Concourse Level spaces (such as concessions and
restrooms) will be heated and ventilated only. Cooking
stands will include utility set grease exhaust fans and
grease ductwork with 1-hour wrap.
The intent of the control systems shall be fully open and
seam-less. It shall be built around industry standards to
meet today’s needs of the proposed facility yet be able to
accommodate the future.The system shall be modular and
distributed in nature.
IV. PROJECT DESCRIPTION // 18
The architecture shall be fault-tolerant so that no single
point failure can bring down the whole system. Control
strategies shall be contained in stand-alone controllers,
independent from each other and the rest of the system.
Despite independence, controllers shall share information
or be directed by a supervising controller to handle
exceptions. The system shall comply with the CSU
standards for direct digital controls.
The control system shall re-boot after a power failure and
resume normal activities. The BMS shall have the ability to
page an engineer on duty when there are certain alarm
troubles, as designated by the operating staff.
Plumbing Narrative
Systems will be designed and installed in accordance with
Local Building and Plumbing Codes, applicable standards,
and County ordinances. Only approved materials and
installation methods will be allowed. The Plumbing System
includes:
• Domestic Cold Water System
• Domestic Hot Water System
• Sanitary Drainage System, includes condensate
drainage
• Storm Drainage System
• Interface to sub-soil drainage system
• Natural Gas System
No plumbing piping shall be installed above or in any
electrical rooms, vaults or electrical spaces and adequate
clearance for piping and equipment in all areas will be
required. Domestic cold water, hot water, and hot water
recirculation piping will be run to serve all equipment and
fixtures as shown on drawings.
All systems serving the concourse facilities (restrooms,
concessions, etc.) will be installed such that they are
completely drainable for winterization. Systems serving
the tower and all year-round spaces will be independent.
Contractor shall participate in first season drain down to
ensure the Owner is fully trained on the procedure.
A central hot water system will be provided, which will
include dedicated gas-fired water heaters with associated
storage tanks for the Service Level and Main Concourse.
The gas meter and main pressure regulator will be located
in the service area. From the meter location, medium-
pressure gas lines will be routed above grade to inside the
building as indicated on the plans.
The distribution pressure will be 2-psig. Gas-fired
equipment and service includes:
 • Domestic water heaters
• Hydronic boilers
• Laundry
• Cooking equipment at the Kitchen and
Concessions
• Infrared heaters at the truck areas
• Assume the plumbing fixtures will be per code
requirements for the various spaces and per
the occupant load outlined in the architectural
package.
In general, follow the concept for fire protection as defined
below although final system requirements will be in
accordance with the Code Consultant recommendations:
• At this time assume a fire pump is required.
• For areas subject to freezing, provide dry
standpipes and dry systems connected to the fire
pump.
• All rooms on the open concourses will be fully
sprinklered using dry pipe systems.
• All enclosed spaces on the Service, Club, Suite,

Life Safety Systems Narrative
The Outdoor Stadium building is designed so that the
major entrances/exits are located at the elevation of the
service level and provide access to the main concourse,
elevated one floor above grade, via large stairs and ramps.
The main level concourse will be the primary circulation
area for the public portion of the facility, including the
lower seating and upper seating bowl. The Stadium
building will be constructed of Type IB, noncombustible
construction and will be fully sprinklered in accordance
with the International
Building Code (IBC) Section 1028.6.2.3, as well as nationally
recognized fire protection design criteria.The new stadium
will be designed as fully sprinklered in accordance with
IBC Section 1028.6.2.3 to achieve the smoke protected
assembly seating provisions. The public areas of the
building that are sufficiently open to the outside are not
required to be sprinklered in accordance with IBC Section
1028.6.2.3 Exception No.3.
This exception allows canopies and cantilevered overhangs
from seating sections where not enclosed with walls and
open to the atmosphere to be non-sprinklered. Since
this exception is clearly allowed in the Smoke Protected
Assembly Section of the Building Code, it is understood
that the building is still considered fully sprinklered for the
purposes of means of egress and construction compliance.
This is consistent with standard practice in stadiums and
arenas throughout the country.
IV. PROJECT DESCRIPTION // 20
If concourses are provided with an exterior cladding
material it must be sufficiently open to allow smoke to
pass through to maintain exterior concourses.
Exterior cladding material must be designed to provide at
least 50% openings (similar to an open parking garage) so
the concourses will be considered “open” and “exterior”
which do not require sprinkler protection per Section
1025.6.2.3.
Section 1028.2 of the International Building Code
identifies assembly occupancies with a calculated occupant
load greater than 300 must be provided with a single main
exit that is of sufficient width to accommodate not less
than one-half of the occupant load. The Stadium has been
designed with multiple entrances and exits and does not
have a well-defined main entrance. These exits have been
sized to accommodate 100% of the required egress width
in accordance with IBC Section 1028.2.
The building is considered primarily a Group A-5 Outdoor
Stadium. Typically, Group A-5 buildings are not required to
comply with the high-rise requirements of IBC Section 403
in accordance with Section 403.1 exception 3. However,
it is our understanding the local code officials will require
the building comply with the high-rise provisions of
Section 403. Therefore, this narrative has been prepared
to incorporate these requirements.
The scoreboard and ribbon boards will be provided with
the capabilities to display evacuation signals to seating bowl
occupants. This form of notification is typically provided in
stadiums and arenas throughout the United States and is
understood to provide equivalent levels of protection as
required by NFPA 72 for building occupants
The Code does not presently have guidance or requirement
for spaces with high ceilings,” and that “alternate methods
for notification need to be considered.” The alternative
solutions proposed for this project will only be applied
to those areas in the seating bowl where compliance with
NFPA 72 is not possible due to the height of the space.
Conventional interior spaces and concourses will be
designed to fully comply with NFPA 72.
This design is a typical approach in most arenas and
stadiums throughout the United States and is specifically
permitted by the Life Safety Code Section 12.3.4.3.3, but
not specifically addressed by the International Building
Code. The listed fire alarm system will be interfaced with
the Public Address system as in accordance with the
requirements of NFPA 101 and the recommendations of
the NFPA 101/72 Assembly Task Force.
This concept is typical in stadium and arena construction The Standards should never be referenced or copied in
throughout the United States and is subject to Authority Contract Documents. The design is expected to embody
