John Hardin HS Football Fieldhouse

  

Back in 2003, the new football fieldhouse at John Hardin High School was greatly welcomed and has been a tremendous asset to the Hardin Co. (KY) community of Radcliff.

Designed by Peck Flannery Gream Warren Architects, of Elizabethtown and built by E.H. Construction, of Shepherdsville, the 14,125 SF facility used several different masonry products to ensure low maintenance and long life.

Along with natural gray concrete masonry units, the masonry contractor, PCM Construction, Inc. of Louisville, used Beechwood colored splitface masonry units and vertically scored smooth Timber colored units from Lee Brick and Block’s Louisville location.

Ralph R. Wright Natatorium U of L

 
Members of the University of Louisville swimming and diving team now take the plunge in the Ralph R. Wright Natatorium.

Whittenberg Construction Co., of Louisville, oversaw the construction of the $11.6 million dollar facility, which opened in September of 2005 and was designed by Browning Day Mullins Dierdorf Architects of Indianapolis (IN).

 

Trenwyth Elmhurst Splitface and Groundface

The masonry contractor, Central Construction Co, of Louisville, installed multiple masonry products, including:

  • Jefferson Blend (modular size face brick) by Hanson
  • Elmhurst Splitface & Groundface (Trendstone) units by Trenwyth (4″,8″ & 12″)
  • AstraGlaze (Trenwyth) Units in Fire Engine Red (4″ & 8″)
  • Natural colored concrete masonry units

The natatorium is another addition to Cardinal Park, which now runs along Floyd Street from Cardinal Boulevard to Central Avenue. Other current projects include a new la crosse field just south of Eastern Parkway and the Trager Center indoor practice facility at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium.

Trenwyth Trendstone Groundface Units

The complex is named for U of L’s first swim coach, Ralph R. Wright. Wright died at the age of 45 in 1966, but built a reputation as an incredible swimmer and terrific coach.

The natatorium is a 50-meter pool containing nearly one million gallons of water. There are four spring boards and three platforms for diving. It can accommodate up to 800 spectators and athletes.
