Waldwick, New Jersey
The Ives Architecture Studio designed this Sports Center in Waldwick working with a former NYGiant football player, Jim Burt. We designed an inflatable structure to house a full size football field and an adjacent building to provide for a heath club, restaurants and ancillary functions. Joel Ives AIA over a 6 month period presented the concept to the Zoning Board in a negative atmosphere within the local community however; the concept was approved when the details of the project were fully understood. The sports dome foundations were designed to keep the structure from blowing away rather than supporting the weight of the structure. After receiving approvals, the project was sold to a developer who continued with the project.
