Located in Eugene, Oregon, Autzen Stadium at the University of Oregon is one of the premier college football venues in the United States and home of the Oregon Ducks. The continued success of the football program impelled the University to upgrade the stadium facilities to meet the demands of a top-level competitor in NCAA Division I athletics. In less than nine months, over 25,000 lineal ft (7600 m) of seating, 32 new luxury suites, and a private 3000-seat club and lounge level were created. The use of a precast concrete system allowed completion of the stadium expansion and renovation work in record time without interruption to the scheduled athletic program. This article explains how project design challenges and high production levels were achieved within an unremitting construction timetable.
