Radford University Intramural Field and Indoor Hitting Facility

Radford University obtained ownership of the former 216,000 SF Burlington Industries facility situated on approximately 9 acres located in east Radford (a prime location for expanding the intramural fields). T&L provided Architectural and Engineering services for an overall project consisting of three distinct project components.

Building Demolition

Burlington Industries Facility was demolished to make way for the new playing fields. Most main level concrete floor and existing footings were retained. Existing masonry walls were demolished and crushed to usable rubble for infill at the basement area of the building; and site was prepared for the next project to commence immediately upon completion.
