TO DATE, ONE OF THE LARGEST INDOOR SURFACING PROJECTS PLAE HAS INSTALLED IS NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY. LOCATED RIGHT ALONGSIDE LAKE MICHIGAN, PLAE COVERED OVER 70,000 SQ FT OF FLOORING IN ROOMS INCLUDING THE FOOTBALL WEIGHT ROOM, OLYMPIC WEIGHT ROOM, ATHLETIC TRAINING ROOM, HALLWAYS AND CORRIDORS, AS WELL AS AN INDOOR TRACK. WE WORKED WITH THE S&C STAFFS TO CREATE A CUSTOM COLOR IN OUR 18MM ACHIEVE WHICH WAS USED THROUGHOUT THE FOOTBALL AND OLYMPIC WEIGHT ROOMS. THOSE ROOMS ALSO INCLUDE A TOTAL OF 52 CUSTOM INLAID PLATFORMS AS WELL AS AN AREA OF BLACK ATTACK TURF TO PROVIDE SPACE FOR DYNAMIC WARMUPS. MOVING INTO THE ATHLETIC TRAINING SPACE WE INSTALLED OUR VERSATILE EXCEED VINYL SURFACING WHICH PROVIDES A PREMIUM AESTHETIC WHILE BEING EXTREMELY FUNCTIONAL FOR ATHLETIC TRAINING AND EXAM ROOM NEEDS. CHARCOAL ACHIEVE WAS USED TO CREATE AN INDOOR TRACK, AND THE SAME CUSTOM ACHIEVE WAS ALSO USED IN THE HALLWAYS AND CORRIDORS TO TIE THE SPACES TOGETHER. NOT ONLY DO THESE SPACES OFFER INCREDIBLE FUNCTIONALITY, BUT THEY ALSO PROVIDE AMAZING VIEWS OF BOTH THE DOWNTOWN CHICAGO AREA AND LAKE MICHIGAN THROUGH IT'S MAGNIFICENT WINDOWS.
