Home of the Falcons and center of campus sports on the Air Force Academy, the Cadet Field House is a massive 277,000+ sq foot sports complex containing the Clune Arena with seating for 6,240 basketball fans, the Cadet Ice Arena that holds approximately 3,100 spectators, and finally a multi-purpose track and field area with elevated seating for 1,000.
HB&A has worked on the Cadet Field House for more than 7 years starting with a planning charrette report in 2012 that investigated updating the entire facility and its major systems. In 2012 HB&A tackled the full design effort in support of the phasing of construction. Since the complex was built in 1968 all phases of the renovation include remediation of life safety issues, code deficiencies, accessibility improvements, expansions of the fire protection system, and upgrades to meet current Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection (AT/FP) standards. Our work in Phases I and II has impacted roughly 65-70% of the total building. The design of Phase III is the early stages.
