Project Description

Systems Consulting, LLC was part of the Turner Construction team contracted to provide construction management services for an interconnected three building complex totaling 1.7 million sq. ft., including a 2,000-car parking garage, a 200,000 exhibition center, 7,000 club seat, and a 67,000-seat, professional football/soccer facility. The stadium was to be home to the NFL’s Seahawks for the Public Stadium Authority. Construction was phased to provide for completion of 325,000 sq. ft. of exhibition space prior to demolition of the Kingdome in February 2000. The final plan included procurement recommendations, logistical analysis, validations, and reasons for personal move dates, as well as parking permit issuance. The results of this study were used to combine various City plans into one master plan.
