Concrete Praised in Renovation of Washington State Stadium

Concrete’s strength, visual impact and durability are clearly expressed at Renton Memorial Stadium in Washington State where the 1947 structure has withstood the test of time, even after a renovation, writes the author who was involved in the project. "Aesthetically, concrete is the essence of the stadium’s mid-century modern architecture and it also plays a front-and-center role for the redesign, allowing us to maintain the building’s original form for facility improvements and provide the structural improvements needed to meet current seismic codes," he states.
