Donald W. Reynolds

Boys & Girls Club

Located in Fayetteville, Ark., this project is a new, 80,000-square-foot Boys & Girls Club facility for the Reynolds Foundation. Alan Mette-meyer, PE, is the project engineer, and Nabholz Construction is the contractor on the $8 million project, which has a completion date of fall 2003.

The new facility will provide numerous activities for the youth of Fayetteville to enjoy, from exercising on the suspended indoor running track, working out in the weight room or playing basketball in one of the three gyms, to relaxing at the indoor swimming pool or playing a leisurely game of billiards.

The Farnsworth Group was challenged with a unique structure that consisted of five different building systems, a glass block/steel tube silo, and an entrance clerestory that featured steel tube trusses, all of which were tied together with a low, flat roof system.
