Title: "State Farm Center Renovation Project"
Speakers: Jane Penny, Jon Niemuth and Greg Brown from AECOM

This presentation will provide a look into the renovation of the State Farm Center (Assembly Hall) located at the University of Illinois in Champaign/Urbana. The renovation of the facility is under strict and tight schedule deadlines, while the design is a challenge to balance the iconic aesthetics of the arena while upgrading it to a modern venue. Both the schedule and design of the facility make this project challenging and exciting.

The talk will look into the design elements fo the renovated facility and how exisitng elements are being incorporated into the design. It will also look into the new elements being added to the arena along with some of the behind the scenes upgrades to the facility. During the presentation, the phasing of the construction work will also be brough up and how it impacts the project.
