Re-envisioning the 50-year-old multipurpose arena, the Fertitta Center Renovation at the University of Houston enhances the overall fan experience and athletic recruitment appeal. Retrofitted steel trusses support new glazing for more inviting entrances, and the catwalk addition accommodates the upgraded audio and lighting systems. The reconfigured bowl structure brings visitors closer to the court and adds 15,000 square feet to the concourse, all without expanding the building footprint.
