- Description:
- In 2018, the project received a major funding boost when Idaho Central Credit Union purchased naming rights to the facility for $10 million. Besides serving as home for men's and women's basketball, the $50-million, 4,000-plus-seat arena includes practice courts, locker rooms, the alumni center and offices and hosts concerts and events. The team collaborated with the Idaho forest industry and used wood harvested from the University of Idaho's Experimental Forest, which provided a local learning laboratory for forestry and engineering students. Detailed instruction documents were developed for each piece of the geometrically complex roof, ensuring the accurate assembly of many different components into a coherent dually curved roof. Because every piece of the asymmetric and highly complex roof was unique, all components needed to fit together precisely in all directions. CSRA VINEYARD COMMUTER RAIL STATION The project added a new station to the existing FrontRunner commuter rail system, which shares a corridor with the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) freight main line.
