Petco Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Coordinates: 32.7073N 117.1566W

Petco Park is an open-air ballpark in downtown San Diego, California, USA. It opened in 2004, replacing Qualcomm Stadium as the home park of Major League Baseball's San Diego Padres. Before then, the Padres shared Qualcomm Stadium with the NFL's San Diego Chargers. The stadium is named after the animal and pet supplies retailer Petco, which is based in San Diego and paid for the naming rights. The ballpark is located between 7th and 10th Avenues, south of J Street. The southern side of the stadium is bounded by San Diego Trolley light rail tracks along the north side of Harbor Drive (which serve the adjacent San Diego Convention Center). The portion of K Street between 7th and 10th is now closed to automobiles and serves as a pedestrian promenade along the back of the left and center field outfield seating (and also provides access to the "Park at the Park" behind center field). Two of the stadium's outfield entrance areas are located at K Street's intersections with 7th and 10th Avenues. The main entrance, behind home plate, is at the south end of Park Boulevard (at Imperial) and faces the San Diego Trolley 12th & Imperial Transit Center.

The ballpark was constructed by San Diego Ballpark Builders, a partnership with Clark Construction, Nielsen Dillingham and Douglas E. Barnhart, Inc. The Petco Park under construction in construction cost of 2001. over $450 million was partially funded by the Center City Development Corporation and the San Diego Redevelopment Agency. The stadium was intended to be part of a comprehensive plan to revitalize San Diego's aging downtown, particularly the East Village area.[4] The stadium is located across Harbor Drive from the San Diego Convention Center, and its main entrance behind home plate is located two blocks from the downtown terminal of the San Diego Trolley light rail system.

The ballpark was originally scheduled to open for the 2002 season; however, construction was temporarily suspended for legal and political reasons. One portion of this was a court decision which nullified a ballot proposition which had already been passed (approving the city's portion of the stadium financing package), and required that the proposition be put to the voters a second time. Another delay resulted from the Western Metal Supply Co. building being declared a historic landmark, which prevented its demolition. After court hearings, it was determined that its landmark status only applies to the exterior facade, as it was supported entirely by panoramic photographs of the early San Diego skyline, and the building was renovated and included in the stadium design in an example of adaptive reuse. The resulting delays required the Padres to play the 2002 and 2003 seasons at Qualcomm Stadium.

Events and milestones

The first baseball game ever played at Petco Park, on March 11, 2004, was the first game of a four-team NCAA invitational tournament hosted by San Diego State University. The San Diego State Aztecs baseball team, of which retired Padres player Tony Gwynn was the head coach, defeated Houston. It was the largest attendance for a game in college baseball history.[5] On April 8, 2004, The San Diego Padres played their first regular season game and defeated the San Francisco Giants 4-3 in 10 innings. April 15, 2004 Mark Loretta hit the first Padre home run off of Hideo Nomo of the Los Angeles Dodgers. It was caught by Mike Hill, a bartender at the Kansas City Barbecue. The stadium's first concert came on November 11, 2005, when it hosted The Rolling Stones. On March 18 and 20, 2006, the ballpark hosted the semi-finals and finals of the first World Baseball Classic. It also hosted second-round games of the 2009 World Baseball Classic.

On April 4, 2006, Petco Park had its first rainout, postponing an evening game against the San Francisco Giants.[6] In February 2007, Petco Park became the new host of the USA Sevens, a rugby union sevens event within the IRB Sevens World Series. Previous editions of the USA Sevens had been held at The Home Depot Center in the Los Angeles suburb of Carson. On August 4, 2007, Barry Bonds hit his 755th home run to tie Hank Aaron's record. On April 17, 2008, the Padres and Rockies played in a 22-inning game, the longest game in Petco Park history. The Rockies won the game by a score of 21. It was the longest MLB game in nearly 15 years. On November 4, 2008, Madonna performed her Sticky and Sweet Tour at Petco Park. This marked the first time in 23 years that Madonna brought a tour to San Diego since The Virgin Tour in 1985. 35,743 fans were present. On July 2, 2009, the MLB experienced its first game to be Photo taken at the 22-inning game. delayed/halted by a swarm of bees at Petco Park in a game between the Padres and the Houston Astros. A small swarm of honeybees took up residence around a chair in left field, causing the game to be delayed by fifty-two minutes. A beekeeper was called in and the swarm was exterminated.[7] On May 31, 2010 the Padres scored a season high and broke a Petco Park record for runs scored in a whole game with 18 runs to defeat the New York Mets on a final score of 18 to 6. Jerry Hairston hit a 2nd inning Grand Slam to start the offence for the Padres. The winning pitcher was Kevin Correia, who had not won a game since April. On June 14, 2010, during a Toronto Blue Jays vs. San Diego Padres game, there was a magnitude-5.7 earthquake, which was centered about 85 miles (137 km) east of San Diego. Play stopped momentarily in the eighth inning. The Blue Jays went on to win 6-3. Rain delays led to the suspension of the Padres' game with the Los Angeles Dodgers on April 8, 2011. The first delay caused the game to start 28 minutes late. Play was then stopped for over 90 minutes in the second inning, and again in the sixth inning for over one hour. The score was tied at 2-2 in the top of the 9th when play was finally suspended at 1:40 a.m. PDT April 9 after a fourth rain delay. The game was finished later on April 9, with the Dodgers winning in 11 innings, 4-2.[8] Season 11 auditions for the juggernaut reality-television program American Idol were held at Petco Park on Friday, July 8, 2011.[9]

Petco Park can be seen and can even be entered in the video game Midnight Club 3 in the city of San Diego.

PETA protest
During the construction of the stadium, the Padres offered fans the chance to purchase bricks outside of the concourse and to dedicate them. Soon after this, PETA attempted to purchase a brick to protest Petco's treatment of animals (PETA and Petco have a long-standing dispute over this matter), but the first two attempts were denied. Undeterred, PETA succeeded on its third attempt by purchasing a brick which read "Break Open Your Cold Ones Toast The Padres Enjoy This Champion Organization." When one reads the first letter of each word, it forms an acrostic which reads "BOYCOTT PETCO." The Padres decided to leave the brick there, saying not enough people walking by would notice the secret meaning.[10]

Petco Park differentiates itself from many other Major League ballparks built in the same era by eschewing "retro"-style red brick and green seats. The stadium is clad in Indian sandstone and stucco; its exposed steel is painted white and the 42,445 fixed seats are dark blue. The design is meant to evoke the sandy color of San Diego cliffs and beaches, the blue of the ocean, and the white sails of boats on the nearby bay.[citation needed] Architects HOK Sport and Antoine Predock's design pulled restaurants, administrative offices and other amenities away from the seating bowl itself into other buildings surrounding the bowl. As a result, the ballpark's concourses are open not only to the playing field but also to the surrounding city. Unlike many outdoor ballparks, in which the batter faces northeast, at Petco the batter faces due north, and fans in the grandstands are treated to a view of San Diego Bay and the San Diego skyline beyond the left field seats, as well as a view of Balboa Park, which contains the San Diego Zoo, beyond center field. The San Diego Union-Tribune honored the ballpark in 2006 with an Orchid award for its design.[11] The official address of Petco Park is 19 Tony Gwynn Way, in honor of the eight-time National League batting champion who wore that uniform number during his entire major league career with the Padres. A 10-foot (3.0 m) statue of Gwynn was unveiled on the stadium grounds on July 21, 2007.

The "Park at the Park", a grassy berm sloping above the outfield fence, is open during game time, allowing fans to sit and watch games for a small price of $5. When no games are being played, the Park at the Park serves as a free local park for area residents. An unusual feature that Petco Park has is the home team bullpen is located behind the left-center field wall while the bullpen for the visiting is in foul territory on the first base side. A 30-by-53-foot (9 m 16 m) LED video board from Daktronics, dubbed FriarVision, offers high-resolution replays and graphics, even in A view from a nearby building shows direct sunlight.[12] Atop FriarVision in the left-field stands is a 34-bythe "Park at the Park" (right) beyond 80-foot (10 m 24 m) Matrix scoreboard displaying animation and cheer the outfield fences. graphics, lineups, stats, and game information.

The Western Metal Supply Co. building, a hundred-year old brick structure that had been scheduled for demolition to make way for Petco Park, was saved and incorporated into the design of the ballpark. The building was renovated and contains the team store, private suites, a restaurant and rooftop seating. The southeast corner of the building serves as the left field foul pole, and is protected by a strip of bright yellow angle iron. Fans in concession stands, in bars, restaurants or wandering the stands can watch the action on 244 high-definition TV monitors and an The Western Metal Building as seen additional 500 standard-definition TVs. More than 500 computerduring a game. controlled speakers throughout the park deliver the sound as a "distributed signal," eliminating the audio delay from a central bank of speakers, such as the system at Qualcomm Stadium. Four stationary cameras, one roving camera and use of six Cox-TV cameras provide videos for the park's screens. Petco Park has been described as being an "extreme pitcher's park". During the 2005-06 offseason, Padres CEO Sandy Alderson adjusted the dimensions in right-center field in an attempt to make it more hitter friendly.[13] At the end of the 2008 season, Petco Park ranked 29th in hits and 30th out of 30 in home runs per Major League ballpark.[14][15] Every time the Padres hit a home run, a foghorn is sounded and fireworks are shot off in center field. The foghorn is a recording of the horn of the Navy's USS Ronald Reagan, a nuclear aircraft carrier that is ported in San Diego.[16] There are a total of 5,000 club seats and 58 luxury suites at the ballpark.

The Albuquerque Museum is located in Albuquerque, New Mexico in Old Town Albuquerque dedicated to preserving the art of the American Southwest and the history of Albuquerque and the Middle Rio Grande Valley of New Mexico. The museum also contributes significantly to the cultural and educational programs in the city of Albuquerque. The museum features art of the Southwest and its global influences, as well as 400 years of Albuquerque history with permanent installations and special exhibitions of national and interenational origin.[1] The museum was first opened as the Museum of Albuquerque in 1967 and located in the Albuquerque International Sunport. The collection outgrew the available space in the terminal, and the current location was built in 1979. The building was designed by Antoine Predock and was significantly expanded in 2005.

CLA Building
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Coordinates: 34334N 1174912W

The Classroom, Laboratory & Administration Building commonly known simply as the CLA Building is a building on the campus of the California State CLA building complex Polytechnic University, Pomona (Cal Poly Pomona). Designed by Albuquerque, New Mexico-based architect Antoine Predock in the Futurist style and completed in 1992, it has come to be the defining image of the university.[1] Its pointed, triangular and open top makes it the most distinct tower on the university campus. According to Predock, "inevitably, human settlement alters the landscape. Successive habitation has altered the Pomona Valley from the original dry swept earth of Rancho San Jose. Now the verdant Arabian horse ranch of W.K. Kellogg coexists with the technological, superscale freeway interchange.".[1] Due to the Cal Poly Pomona's proximity to the Los Angeles district of Hollywood, the building has been displayed on films such as Gattaca, Impostor, as well as several TV commercials for products such as cars and cell phones.[2]

The CLA building sits directly above the San Jose Hills fault Antoine Predock Architect and has the second-highest seismic "risk score" of 72.94, in the California State University system, after a building at CSU East Bay. It suffered no structural damage as a result of the July 29, 2008 Chino Hills earthquake, a magnitude 5.4. It has leaked water since it was completed in 1993, and connections and beams at the building do not meet California earthquake safety standards. It needs so much work that university officials are contemplating tearing it down.[3]

McNamara Alumni Center

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Coordinates: 44.975106N 93.227741W

The McNamara Alumni Center, also known as the Gateway Building, at the University of Minnesota's Twin Cities campus in Minneapolis, Minnesota is one of the more architecturally-unique buildings in the area. Minneapolis-based Mortenson Construction began the 230,000-square-foot (21,000 m2) complex in March 1998 and completed construction in February 2000.[1] The building is on University property, but is owned by the University of Minnesota Gateway Corporation, made up of the Alumni Association, U of M Foundation and Medical Foundation.[2]

Overview

Located at the intersection of University Avenue and Oak Street SE, the landmark building resides on land formerly home to Memorial Stadium. In fact, the interior of the building features an arch that was once an entrance to the stadium. Outside, there is a small water pool and fountain, although it is not in operation for most of the year because of the region's climate. The building opened in February 2000 and is named for Richard McNamara, a 1956 alumnus of the university and former football player. University officials chose architect Antoine Predock in 1996 to design the structure.[3] KKE Architects of Minneapolis served as the project's executive architect and general manager. The university held a ceremonial groundbreaking for the complex during November 1997.[4] The building contains two main components: office space and a public reception area. About 75,000 square feet (7,000 m2) of copper clads the rectangular portion where university offices are located, including those of the University of Minnesota Alumni Association.[5] Granite supported by 500 steel beams forms an asymmetrical geode-styled area of the building featuring an interior public Memorial Hall, 85-foot (26 m) tall.[5] Some 2,200 rose-colored granite blocks weighing up to 1,000 pounds each form the geode's exterior. The structure required 40,000 square feet (3,700 m2) of granite.[5]

The new TCF Bank Stadium is rising in the background, only a block away from the site of the former stadium. The photo also shows the associated park in the foreground, as well as the more recently constructed Alumni Wall of Honor, which echoes the design of the Alumni Center. The new expansion would extend from the left side of the "boulder".

The entry of Memorial Stadium, which previously sat on the site, is used as the entrance to the Heritage Gallery.

Inside the hall, a series of balconies and a stairway joining the fourth and fifth floors extend from the office section into the reception area. The open expanse of the Memorial Hall's interior is partially sheathed with the same copper as the exterior in addition to six miles (10 km) of hemlock planks.[6] Some 900 events annually are held in the center's public spaces, including the expansive Memorial Hall, the Heritage Gallery, or in conference and meeting rooms, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. The rock band Incubus used the Memorial Hall during the taping of its music videotrack "Drive", which was nominated for an MTV Video Music Award.

Six-story, 85-foot Memorial Hall.

The rental demand for special event spaces at the center and growth in operations of the University of Minnesota Foundation and the Minnesota Medical Foundation, both housed in the center, prompted the University of Minnesota Board of Regents to approve a $9.7 million addition. The addition, designed by Predock, included office and event space as well as an expanded restaurant.[7] Construction began in 2009 to coincide with the opening of the adjacent TCF Bank Stadium. The University of Minnesota Gateway Corporation paid for the addition.[2][8] The addition was completed in 2010 and created an additional 4,500 square feet (420 m2) of total space. This additional space also allowed for improved traffic flow in the building, reducing foot traffic in the middle of events, specifically in Memorial Hall [9] In addition, the building is used to host pregame festivities prior to each home football game. [10] The building was criticized for many reasons when it was being built. Automobile parking has always been in short supply on campus, and a park area next to the building took away a campus lot. A new parking ramp was constructed nearby to help alleviate this problem.

The Flint River Gallery includes both freshwater and saltwater fish, and includes a live fish hatchery. In this exhibit, visitors can follow the 350-mile (560 km) journey of the Flint River to the ocean.[5] Discovery Caverns includes interactive displays and an underground cave exhibiting subterranean creatures. The World of Water shows visitors other rivers around the world that share features and challenges with the Flint. Spring Run Creek is home to the aquarium's alligators. Cypress Pond Aviary is a 35-foot (11 m) high enclosure featuring birds indigenous to the Flint River basin, as well as several migratory birds that pass through the area. Although the first inhabitants of this exhibit are commercially available birds such as quail and ducks, the RiverQuarium is working with various groups to obtain non-releasable birds native to the area.[6] The Adventure Center is across the plaza from the RiverQuarium, and is designed to house traveling exhibits at

the Aquarium. Imagination Theater is the facility's IMAX theater and often shows 3D versions of the movies.[7]

Architecture
The RiverQuarium was designed by architect Antoine Predock in association with Executive Architect Robbins Bell Kreher, and was completed in 2004. Predock was "inspired by the biology, geology and hydrology of Southwest Georgia" in creating this facility.[1] The facility is part of the Downtown Albany RiverFront Master Plan. Located on the banks of the Flint River at Pine Avenue and Front Street, it received the American Institute of Architects (AIA) award in 2005. [2] It is one of the city's projects to reconnect the downtown to the river and a walkway along its banks. The building wraps around the primary exhibit, which is the 15,000-square-foot (1,400 m2) naturally landscaped Blue Hole and Cypress Creek. The building is designed to allude to the "complex Ocala limestone terrain of sinks, aquifers, caves and streams that exist below the surface."[1] The Exhibits were designed by Lyons/Zaremba Inc. of Boston, Massachusetts
