Overview Sports Facilities
A majority of our athletic projects have been with Stanford University. Over the years we have established a rapport with the University. The size and complexity of the project have varied from sports centers, tennis stadiums, softball diamonds, to an expansion of the aquatics facility. The scope of work has included the upgrading and expansion of existing facilities, new facilities, and seismic and ADA renovations to existing facilities. The wide range of Stanford athletic projects has given Vance Brown a unique understanding of the special requirements and conditions involved in each project.

In addition to the Stanford projects, we recently completed a renovation of the YMCA in Palo Alto. This involved a complete remodel of the facility into a state-of-the-art fitness center.
