LEN HEAD, NY — The leadership of the North Shore School
District, community lead- ers and BBS Architects, LandscapeArchitects and Engineers celebrated the official opening of the new athletic field, running track and supporting facilities. The district encompasses a high school, middle school and three elementary schools. BBS served the district as architect and engineer for the project. Savin Engineers provided construction man- agement services. “The new, $3.8 million, 100,000 s/f sports complex replaced and expanded the deteriorated facilities which were insufficient for the needs of the district’s 2,850 stu- dents,” said BBS director of architecture Joseph Rettig, AIA, LEED AP . “The new complex includes a multi- use, synthetic turf field; an eight-lane running track; and a 1,700 s/f concession, bath- room and storage building.” The BBS team faced sev- eral engineering challenges, including the requirement to protect a neighboring wetland recharge basin and a poorly

draining fill and soil at the site of the new field. BBS developed solutions that corrected the soil condi- tion and protected the nearby basin. “The new field features a subsurface drainage and a water detention system that prevents storm run-off from entering the wetland,” said Rettig. “The drainage system consists of a permeable stone base beneath the synthetic turf surface and a perforated pipe network that directs rain water to the underground, plastic detention chambers.” The storm water manage- ment system utilizes Storm-
tech SC-740 drainage cham- bers. The system is designed for detention of 30,000cf of water using six inches of stone at 40% porosity. The complex also includes a new, one-story, multi-pur- pose building that serves as the main entry port to the athletic facilities. The build- ing consists of two structures connected by a pitched steel truss roof with gray asphalt shingles and a reverse gable. The entryway between the buildings is protected by a decorative iron gate. The en- tire athletic facility received a new security system. ■
