Wichita State University, Wichita, Kansas
Just a few years before it became known as one of the most formidable arenas in college basketball, Koch Arena, home of the Wichita State Shockers, was in need of a facelift. We teamed up with Populous to first prepare a study and program and then provide design for major renovations, additions, and reconfigurations to the 10,000-seat Roundhouse.
Project Details
TESSERE completed extensive renovations for Wichita State University's arena. The existing concourse, located below the risers, was repurposed as new restroom and concession areas, and a new, wider concourse was designed. Also included were ADA upgrades, seating reconstruction, and new seats as well as new additions containing student services areas, weight training, and practice courts.
