Project Case Study
Client Testimonial
Hear it for yourself
“Working with McCownGordon was a great experience from day one! During the preconstruction period they really worked to maximize the amount of construction we could do for that budget. They came to the table with unique ideas during the preconstruction period, which let us get the best bang for every dollar that we spend on these projects.”
-Burke Jones, Director of operations, Derby Public schools
This state-of-the-art facility provides Derby High School a brand new stadium for 4,000+ fans and significantly improves the line of sight for fans. LED lighting improves the brightness at the field while preventing lighting spillage into the neighboring residential area. A 1,000 square foot pressbox includes seven boxes for coaches, radio and other game needs.The project also includes several updated amenities such as the ticket plaza, concession stand, fan shop, bathrooms, locker rooms and an expanded parking lot. Overall this project provides a safer and more secure athletic complex for fans and players, in addition to reflecting the District’s exceptional football program with multiple state championships.
Building Relationships
In The Community
The superintendent on the project proposed an event to help Derby School District celebrate a milestone in the project and engage the community with a coin toss into the concrete poured for the deck of the press box.
For good luck, school officials and community members signed commemorative, Derby branded coins and flipped them into the poured concrete! The event brought over 30 individuals from the Derby Board of Education, school leadership and our team to help celebrate the milestone and engage the client.
