SEI Presents: A Dome Rises in Delaware (1.0 PDH)
By using modern design and construction methods, an award-winning Academic and Athletic Facility was created for the expanding Delaware Military Academy. This presentation will address project development, design and construction methods, and the full sequence of construction. The reinforced concrete dome gymnasium roof was made with an inflated form and interior shotcrete, allowing construction to proceed through the Winter. The resulting signature form has the inherent strength to serve as a rated hurricane shelter, and the costs to build and operate this facility are considerably less than those for a building of similar size and conventional construction.
