University at Buffalo Football Locker Room Upgrades

Buffalo Engineering provided MEP engineering services for the Football Locker Room Upgrades project at the University at Buffalo’s stadium. The University Stadium was built in 1993 for the World University Games and serves as the main athletic facility for most sports teams. In 1999, 14,500 seats were added to meet requirements for the UB Bulls’ entrance into the NCAA MAC football conference.

Within the west grandstand, various football-related support areas are located, including mechanical, electrical, and plumbing utilities. This area houses the football team locker room, which required updates to the showers, toilets, sinks, and other support areas.

The scope of work included extension of the existing fire alarm system with detection and annunciation as required per code, new lighting controls, new power systems and circuits, new plumbing fixtures, and design to ensure proper air movement.
