To modernize the 680,000-sq-ft Philips Arena for the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks, the team broke the project into three phases. Unforeseen conditions proved to be the main obstacle for contractors undertaking the top-to-bottom overhaul, which rebuilt the venue’s interior and reconfigured its layout.

The stadium now features a 360-degree concourse, new video boards and improved sightlines.
