UTAH STATE UNIVERSITY - NELSON FIELDHOUSE. THE NELSON FIELDHOUSE WAS ORIGINALLY BUILT IN THE 1930'S AS THE HOME VENUE FOR THE UTAH STATE BASKETBALL TEAM. SINCE THEN THIS SPACE HAS BEEN CONVERTED INTO A MULTI-USE FACILITY UTILIZED BY THE UTAH STATE RECREATION DIVISION AS WELL AS UTAH STATE ATHLETICS AND THEIR TRACK AND FIELD TEAM. THIS PROJECT PRODUCED MANY UNIQUE SITUATIONS WHICH WE WERE ABLE TO PROVIDE WELL THOUGHT OUT SOLUTIONS. SOME OF THE SITUATIONS PRESENTED TO US WAS THE NEED TO BE ABLE TO UTILIZE TRACK AND FIELD SPIKES ACROSS THE ENTIRE SURFACE WHILE STILL MAINTAINING THE ABILITY TO PLAY BASKETBALL, VOLLEYBALL, PICKLEBALL AND LIFT WEIGHTS IN THE INFIELD. FOR THIS, WE DEVELOPED ACHIEVE X, A PLAETECH BACKED PRODUCT WITH A HEAVY DUTY 6MM TOP SKIN LAYER ABLE TO TAKE THE TYPE OF ABUSE THEY WILL DELIVER. THE VELOCITY TRACK SYSTEM PROVIDES A FAST TRACK WITH THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF CUSHION TO ALLOW ATHLETES TO TRAIN WITHOUT BREAKING DOWN THEIR BODIES.
