University of Lousiville's (UofL) North End Expansion will enclose the stadium to enhance the game-day environment. Additionally, this expansion will increase the University's ability to recruit and train student-athletes. 
UofL chose Messer based on our proven success completing some of its most complex projects, our status as a national leader in higher education construction and our expertise in delivering complex phased renovations in occupied spaces.

This Expansion ties into the existing facility and supporting columns, requiring careful planning to ensure the structure was never compromised. Our project team also coordinated with stadium management to ensure construction activities did not disrupt football games, concerts, summer camps, etc.
