‍

Designing an Amphitheater Canopy: From Leaf to Landmark [CS6] ↗ 

Speakers: Jacinda Collins, PE, LEED Green Associate | CAST CONNEX & Erica Flannery, PE | Progressive Companies

‍

The presentation will talk about how what began as a simple sketch of a leaf evolved into a canopy the size of a football field, serving as an iconic riverfront landmark at the new world-class Acrisure Amphitheater in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

This session will explore the design and engineering journey of the canopy structure, supported by two distinctive three-pronged steel columns. Attendees will learn how the project team transformed an organic concept into an elegant steel structure, addressing load paths, stability systems, fabrication challenges, and erection planning. A special focus will be placed on the engineering and fabrication of the tri-column base connections, custom fabricated by CAST CONNEX, which played a pivotal role in achieving both structural performance and architectural design intent.
