Thornton Tomasetti wins ACEC New York Platinum Award
Thornton Tomasetti, Inc., a leading building engineering and design firm, has received the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) New York Platinum Award for Structural Systems for its work on The Prudential Center.
Thornton Tomasetti was selected as the engineer of record for the structural design of The Prudential Center, the new $310 million sports and entertainment facility recently opened in downtown Newark. The new arena encompasses 858,000 s/f with a footprint of approximately 475 ft. by 600 ft. Opened in October 2007, the Prudential Center is the first major indoor professional sports and entertainment venue to be completed in the metropolitan New Jersey/New York area in 25 years. It will be the centerpiece of a larger redevelopment program that is expected to revitalize downtown Newark.
The National Hockey League's New Jersey Devils, who are the primary user of The Prudential Center, retained HOK Sport Venue Event as the project architect of record. HOK chose Thornton Tomasetti to provide structural engineering services for the development, as well as Morris Adjmi Architects as the exterior design architects and Langan Engineering & Environmental Services, Inc. as the geotechnical engineers. Close and intense coordination of project team members was an important factor in the successful completion of the project.
