Location: Kansas City, MO

Application: Sand Volleyball Dome

Size: 120’ W x 320’ L (38,400 sq. ft.)

Features:

• Seasonal Dome
• Translucent Fabric provides natural lighting
• Large, open-span space
• Arizon’s energy efficient mechanical system

Challenge:

• Provide a multi-functional, open-span, seasonal space to accommodate over 24 leagues & 700 teams of sand volleyball players so that players have an indoor facility to play sand volleyball through the winter.
• Arizon was also challenged to design a grade beam foundation that was compatible with the very sandy soil conditions at the site.

Solution:

• Arizon designed, manufactured, and installed a seasonal, climate-controlled air supported building in Kansas City,
  MO.
• The 38,400 sq. ft. dome fits over large sand volleyball courts.
• The structure includes an energy efficient mechanical system and translucent fabric to utilize natural lighting.
• Arizon was also able to come up with a spread footer design for the foundation, which is not common in air structures but was required in this case due to the soil conditions.

Result:

• The new Arizon air structure sits seasonally at the Volleyball Beach facility showcasing the aesthetically pleasing translucent dome.
• Players and teams can enjoy year-round lessons, clinics, camps and tournaments at a fraction of the first-cost and ongoing investment that a ‘conventionally constructed’ brick and mortar training facility might have cost.
