Gately Field House
Gately Field House
Best K-12 School Building
The Gately Indoor Track & Field complex in Chicago’s Pullman community seamlessly combines classic and modern architectural elements with its exterior, featuring glass curtainwall, brickclad precast panels, traditional masonry, and metal paneling. Its column-free design, supported by six massive 252′ long trusses, ensures uninterrupted space for track and field events, overcoming logistical challenges during construction. Recognized as the “Indoor Track Facility of the Year” in 2020, the facility showcases nearly 200 precast panels, including innovative brickclad designs with custom black fins, reflecting cost-effective and efficient construction solutions.
About the Project:
- Subtle 3-in. faceting of the panels creates an interplay of light and shadow that adds a sense of depth to the facade with minimal investment.
- A two-hour precast concrete firewall separates portions of the building.
- The gym project included 40 exterior faceted precast concrete panels and 12 single-story exterior ribbed precast concrete panels.
- The pool project used 15 exterior faceted precast concrete panels, 10 interior precast concrete firewall panels, and 8 precast concrete columns.
- The buildings were erected separately during the winter, and each building was completed in less than one month.
