SHCC Tennis Courts

Challenge

The SHCC Tennis Courts project involved tying a new structure into an existing facility while introducing complex architectural and structural elements. The design featured a suspended mezzanine, dormers, an over-framed 100+ foot cricket, and an EIFS exterior with a shingled roof and decorative cupolas. These elements required careful planning to ensure performance, alignment, and integration with the existing building.

Solution

Our engineering team developed a framing system that maintained structural integrity while accommodating long spans and the unique roof geometry. The suspended mezzanine was designed to integrate with existing load paths, and digital modeling was used to verify geometry and connection details. The mixture of EIFS and traditional finishes was coordinated to achieve a balanced and durable design.

Result

The completed facility enhances both the functionality and aesthetics of the SHCC campus. The combination of wide-span roof framing, architectural cupola, and integrated mezzanine reflects a successful collaboration between design intent and engineered execution — a facility that delivers both form and performance.
