The Pauley Pavilion expansion added approximately 70,000 sf, which was used for an interior concourse. The concourse is enclosed with new steel frames on three sides and a curtain wall. The new steel framing used as the façade also provides structural support for the roof of the “Pavilion Club” space. The steel truss creates an 11,000 sf column-free club space for maximum flexibility.

Two new basement levels, used as locker rooms, were also added to the north, which were connected to the court level through two new tunnels below the existing stadium seating. The existing structure was underpinned during construction. “Surgical” structural modifications were made to the interior bowl seating, which provided 1,000 additional seats, merchandising space, and concession space and created more floor area by increasing head clearances, modifying door openings and infilling existing openings.
