Skanska, together with its joint venture partner Megen Construction, recently signed a contract for about $70 million with the University of Cincinnati to manage the renovation of its multi-purpose Fifth Third Arena.
Renovations to the 26-year old facility, originally named the Myrl H. Shoemaker Center, include the creation of a 360 degree seating bowl with space for 11,500 spectators. It includes new concessions and restrooms, an upper-level concourse with fan amenities, expanded food and beverage options, a new Bearcats lounge and super suites. A new main entrance and plaza with ticketing and guest services are also included.
The Fifth Third arena is home to the University of Cincinnati Bearcats men’s and women’s basketball teams and women’s volleyball team.
Construction is scheduled to begin in June 2016 and is slated for completion in November 2018.
