SOLD OUT!! Construction Tour: University of Cincinnati Indoor Practice Facility & Performance Center
SOLD OUT!!
Get ready to experience the future of University of Cincinnati athletics with the new Indoor Practice Facility & Performance Center! This state-of-the-art space, located within the Sheakley Athletics Complex, will enhance the training and performance of Bearcats student-athletes.
Spanning 180,000 square feet, the facility will feature a 120-yard indoor football field, cutting-edge training rooms, recovery spaces, offices, and top-tier sports performance equipment. Advanced technology, including a remote-operated camera system and energy efficient designs, ensures this facility is as forward-thinking as the athletes it serves.
Construction began in April 2023, with completion expected in Spring 2025. The $134 million project, funded largely through philanthropic support, aims to give UC’s athletic programs a competitive edge.
Join us on April 10th at 4 p.m. for a tour of the new facility!

Construction Tour: Cincinnati Public Radio
Join us as we tour Cincinnati Public Radio’s new home in Evanston! It’s already making headlines by being the first two story mass timber building in the Midwest.
This innovative structure will accommodate state-of-the-art studios and offices, as well as a public lobby with the ability to host events and performances. On the outside you’ll easily be able to see the 14 ft tall satellite and a three sided cantilever window, showing off the interior. Sustainable building has been at the forefront of this entire project. By opting for mass timber, a renewable resource, they are reducing carbon emissions and enhancing energy efficiency.
When deciding on the location of the new HQ, CPR wanted to make sure it would be in a community it could give back to. With their open public plaza, lobby coffee bar, and close proximity to Evanston Park, CPR plans to invest in the Evanston community and give back with public events.
SOLD OUT - Construction Tour: Macy’s Renovation
Update: This tour is sold out.
HGC Construction is breathing new life into the former Macy’s HQ downtown, converting the building into a mixed-use space. The renovation will include 341 residential units, common space area, ground floor lobby, rooftop terrace, and top floor amenity space.
Due to the sensitivity of this project, not a lot of information has been made available to the public. Join us as we receive an exclusive behind the scenes tour of this project!

Playhouse in the Park Construction Tour
oin us as we tour Playhouse in the Park’s exciting new addition, The Mainstage Theater Complex! Messer Construction has done a great job with the new complex, a 54,000 square foot building with 5,200 square feet of renovation.
The 50 year old Marx Theater will be replaced by state of the art Rouse Theater, designed by BHDP. Rouse Theater will face the Cincinnati Art Museum and Eden Park, allowing patrons to admire the surrounding area. The mostly steel structure is built into the hills of Mt. Adams thanks to Schaefer.
The new complex will also provide a new experience for both patrons and the back of house. Cast and crew will enjoy rehearsal rooms, green rooms, dressing room and costume shop, as well as a fly gallery which allows the crew to create and move complex sets. Patrons will appreciate the new balcony, more leg room, better acoustics, and improved sightlines. The mechanical-electrical systems were designed by Heapy Engineering.
