GMU Engineers and Geologists just completed our largest sports park structural design project to date: Ontario Sports Empire. Set to open in Fall 2026, the Ontario Sports Empire is positioned to become the premier venue for major regional and national tournaments, elevating Ontario as a key sports destination in the United States. With 190 acres of top-tier athletic facilities, including 20 long fields, 14 youth diamond fields, 8 full-size diamonds, 4 football/rugby fields and 2 championship baseball fields, the Ontario Sports Empire will be the largest sports complex of its kind west of the Rocky Mountains.
GMU Engineers and Geologists completed structural design and detailing for all landscape ancillary structures including 100-foot-tall flagpole footings, massive entry way pilasters and tube steel archways, all reinforced concrete terraced seating, massive shade structure foundations, all ball field containment netting posts, and foundations, all site screen walls and retaining walls, and the massive 50-foot by 150-foot video display board steel frame and deep foundation elements.
GMU's support extends beyond the design phase for this project. We'll continue to provide structural engineering support for all the structures during construction and we will provide geotechnical observation and testing and materials testing for all the synthetic turf fields throughout the project. We’re beyond excited to be a part of the team along with RJM Design Group and many others.
