Future Campus Framework Discussion

[BKCuse]

The exterior support system was def a little jarring at first but it's not that ugly and I'm super happy we are keeping our unique feel inside the Dome.
I bet they can do some cool things with lights or banners on the exterior structures as well.

The rendering of the roof from an inside view looks like it's the pathway to another dimension.

Look I’m glad SU made a decision but I seriously doubt the BOT tastes if this is what it looks like

 

[orangeinjersey]

So, does Carrier stay on the building?

No lap pool? Mfers

They will move it if the punt comes near it

If they can lower the scoreboard on the fly to block the other team's punt - that would be a distinct advantage.

The Syracuse Upside Down (Dark place, but where Football has been ranked nationally the past 18 years; do you take that?)

I'm guessing ac is in phase to for a reason after phase 1 is completed we probably get out of carrier deal

 

[Moontan]

Air conditioning is not planned to be in place until 2022, so 4 more years of sweat games...

 

[FrancoPizza]

I'm confused whether concourse / ADA work is Phase I or II. If Phase II it provides a better opportunity for some NYS funding.

ADA maybe, but I thought the big argument for state funding would be to avoid a catastrophic failure of the roof and the impact such a disaster would have on the campus and city. With the new roof in place, I don't see the state providing $$$ to widen the concourses or add luxury suites.

Dome closed til mid to late Sept 2020.
Material is a version of efte but stronger. (Snow load, I assume) . Life span, 40 years.

Mention in presser of possibility of expanding walls in second phase. Looks like same seats, first phase.

I think the outside opaque part is hard top. Not sure the material but he mentioned rubber being involved and it seems more like conventional material. The translucent part is PTFE with fiberglass. This is not ETFE. ETFE and PTFE Structures

I also like that the scoreboard will move from center for football to side for hoops.

Could be. They weren’t mentioned today probably because we are in negotiations with them and playing hard ball. We probably want more $$$$ or AC and other work in lieu of.

Isn't PTFE just Teflon, which the Dome roof is currently made of?

It's not about tastes...it's about $$s. It was a big driver in the design.

Roof on by Sept, late Sept 2020. Summer events cancelled. Phase 2 may involve expanding the walls.

Have to do what you have to do. They are following Madison Square Garden's lead by constructing in phases by allowing full season's to occur in order to offset any losses. Commencement is still a very big deal, so it is good to see that construction will not displace the event.

Teflon Coated Fiberglass (PTFE)

PTFE is used world wide as the preferred material for large-scale permanent tensile structures or structures requiring long life and with specific construction code compliance requirements. PTFE has excellent weather, temperature and chemical resistance in addition to its durability and strength. This tensile fabric roof material has a life span of over 25 years and is manufactured in accordance to standards such as ASTM E-108 and E-84. PTFE varies in translucency from 7% to 15% and reflects between 68%-75% of incident sunlight. The quality of light transmitted is color balanced, diffused and free of shadows and glare.

Before installation, PTFE has an irregular off white or slightly brown color, which is caused during the manufacturing and fabrication process. Once exposed to direct sunlight, the external surface of the membrane bleaches to a milky white within a matter of days.

PTFE is the obvious option if long life and low maintenance are the most important factors in selecting a fabric. This material requires heat-sealing at the seams to join fabric pattern sections and has a life span of over 30 years.

Other non combustible fabrics include silicone coated fiberglass and hybrid PTFE. These materials are more environmentally friendly, more pliable and available in colors and with higher translucency than standard PTFE.

I think the fiberglass part makes this different. "PTFE-fiberglass mesh"

I think the ability to turn the lights on and off can make the football entrances more exciting. It can be something that sets Syracuse football apart from the rest.

Available in colors you say.

Can we have recruits in attendance enter to a light show?

 

[rrlbees]

With the lights, sound, and scoreboard it looks like they went with the “wow” factor first before the niceties.

Will need a more exciting PA announcer especially for b-ball intros.

light up the exterior support system and get the art department busy on filling in the holes!!

Dear Carrier -

I hope you're saving your dollars from moving all those jobs out of country because you're gonna have to pay up to keep your name on The Dome.

The writing is on the wall... your name is coming off the building... tick, tick, tick...

 

[Scooch]

Great news! The Dome is such a unique facility. So glad to see that we're keeping the stadium on campus and modernizing the fan experience.

Will be great to have A/C for that September 2022 game where we throttle Clemson en route to our 3rd straight ACC conference title.
