Construction concluded on the north end zone project at FirstBank Stadium, home to the Vanderbilt University football program, before the 2024 football season began. The new end zone features premium hospitality areas, a videoboard to enhance game day experience, premium seating and loge boxes for games, a visiting team locker room, and concourse expansion connecting FirstBank Stadium’s east and west concourses. The project was the exterior facade of the new basketball operations center, set to open later this year.  

 

SSR was the MEP design engineer for the North End Zone and Basketball Operations project. In recent months, our team has been making frequent site visits to monitor construction and building progress as the facility has approached completion.  The project team’s focus has been on prioritizing the football facing portion of the building in time for the season to start and then for basketball to follow.

 

The new muti-story men’s and women’s basketball operations center will feature two practice gyms covering more than 90,000 SF; student-athlete facilities such as locker rooms, lounges, weight room, and training facility; and easy access to Memorial Gymnasium.

 

SSR has over 30 Vanderbilt alumni at SSR, these projects are an exciting opportunity for us to have a lasting impact in facilities and on a campus that holds special memories for so many. You can follow construction progress with the live construction camera. Anchor Down and Go ‘Dores!
