University of Cincinnati, Nippert Stadium
Our expansion to the historic Nippert Stadium provides outstanding spectator facilities for football games and integrates with the high-quality architecture and landscape of the University of Cincinnati campus.
Working within tight physical constraints, we added a new 115,000 SF addition with premium seating and press facilities, a new footbridge to the nearby student center, and a pedestrian concourse and terrace that can be used year-round for a variety of activities and gatherings. Together, these interventions transform a seasonal facility into a central hub that serves everyone on campus throughout the year.
The building’s
dramatic north cantilever frames views into the
stadium and its stepped massing at the south
terrace allows views to the field.

The pedestrian concourse provides public space for a range of student activities and gatherings, 365 days a year. -
