LAS VEGAS A’s BALLPARK

Project Stats: $2.0B+ | 33,000 Capacity | Las Vegas Strip (Former Tropicana Site)

Estimated Completion: Spring 2028 (In construction)

WALL AND SEATING HEIGHT COORDINATION

Sightline Optimization: Orchestrated wall and railing height coordination across suite and club levels, ensuring unobstructed field views from both seated and standing positions relative to the stadium rake.

Vertical Clearance Management: Standardized pony wall and enclosure heights to shield back-of-house mechanicals while maintaining mandated 8’-6” to 9’-0” clear heights across diverse program areas.

Program-Specific Transitions: Managed the vertical alignment of partitions across multiple levels to accommodate varying floor-to-floor heights and complex structural plenum depths.

VERTICAL CORE DOCUMENTATION AND COORDINATION

Detailed Technical Documentation: Managed the comprehensive annotation and dimensioning strategy for primary vertical cores, ensuring 100% accuracy across enlarged plans and longitudinal sections.

System Integration & Design Updates: Facilitated real-time geometry adjustments to elevator shaft enclosures and pit depths based on updated manufacturer cab sizes and structural concrete tolerances.

Graphic Standards & Clarity: Spearheaded the graphic cleanup and visual hierarchy of complex Revit families to ensure legible, high-fidelity documentation for permit and construction sets.

PUBLIC CIRCULATION AND SYSTEM INTEGRATION

Egress & Code Compliance: Managed comprehensive annotation and dimensional stringing for primary public egress stairs, ensuring strict adherence to code-mandated handrail clearances and riser/tread uniformity.

System Integration Tolerances: Coordinated precise vertical and horizontal tolerances for escalator assemblies, verifying that structural slab openings and support pits aligned with manufacturer-specific requirements for fit-out.

Technical Callouts & Detailing: Developed a robust system of technical callouts to resolve non-orthogonal plan geometries, ensuring seamless transitions between architectural soffit finishes and integrated lighting arrays.

Plan Development: Authored enlarged reflected ceiling plans (RCPs) and dust lid layouts to standardize secondary enclosures across primary stadium concourses.

Multi-Discipline Coordination: Managed the technical interface between architectural dust lid assemblies, recessed lighting arrays, and structural trusses to ensure code-compliant clearances.

Geometric Resolution: Resolved complex, non-orthogonal plenum conditions to maintain architectural clear heights while accommodating critical HVAC and fire suppression distribution.

LONGITUDINAL SECTIONS AND CORE COORDINATION

Section Coordination & Development: Refined building-length longitudinal sections to establish vertical continuity across 4 primary levels. Streamlined graphic standards via Revit visibility settings and 2D detail components, ensuring high-fidelity clarity for permit-ready documentation.

Comprehensive Callout Strategy: Developed and managed a complex system of wall section and detail callouts, ensuring a seamless navigational link between high-level building sections and localized technical details.

Interdisciplinary Section Coordination: Resolved spatial conflicts between primary structural steel, vertical egress paths, and mechanical plenums through rigorous cross-referencing of architectural sections and consultant models.

Perimeter Profile

Resolution: Executed the “knifeedge, technical development, coordinating rigid insulation tapers and structural outriggers to achieve a minimal aesthetic profile.

Enclosure Continuity: Resolved complex waterproofing transitions at the leading edge to ensure seamless integration between the roofing membrane, metal fascia, and concealed drainage.

Structural & Field Coordination: Aligned architectural intent with secondary steel supports under wind-load constraints, authoring large-scale details to clarify installation sequencing for the soffit and fascia.

GLAZING SYSTEM STANDARDIZATION & ALIGNMENT

System Documentation: Coor the technical development of the 3’-9” modular curtain wall and storefront systems across the north facade to ensure material efficiency and aesthetic continuity.

Vertical Alignment Coordination: Managed the precise vertical mullion alignment across multiple floor levels, coordinating with the primary structural steel grid and interior floor slabs.

Geometric Resolution: Resolved complex glazing transitions at corner conditions and varying finish-to-finish heights to maintain a consistent 3’-9” horizontal datum.

Modular Alignment: Standardized the precast concrete panel layouts to adhere to the primary 3’-9” modular grid, ensuring seamless vertical and horizontal alignment with the adjacent curtain wall and storefront systems.

Joint & Interface Design: Managed the technical detailing of panel joints and sealant depths to maintain a consistent aesthetic across varying material transitions.

Tolerance Management: Coordinated the installation tolerances between the rigid precast panels and the primary structural steel frame to ensure code-compliant clearances and building movement.
