• Sustainable Design: The structure incorporates energy-efficient materials and sustainable design principles, aligning with modern construction standards.

Project Impact

This cutting-edge facility enhances the PGA Tour’s ability to deliver real-time digital content, reinforcing its position as a leader in sports media. Our expertise in structural engineering ensured a seamless integration of architectural vision and technical performance, contributing to a landmark project in the industry.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
