Hunzinger Construction’s performance on the American Family Insurance Amphitheater project literally raised the roof. The team devised a way to safely and expeditiously raise a half-acre roof over the amphitheater stage, enabling the venue to book larger productions.
Completed in May 2021, the 33-month project was split into two phases. The first phase raised the massive roof from 39 ft above grade to 65 ft. The portion raised was 24,100 sq ft and weighed 607,000 lb. For the second phase, the “back of house” building was rebuilt, including 19 new dressing rooms and showers, 23 new restrooms and six new loading docks.
