Phase two of Toronto Rogers Centre renovation has commenced
Toronto Rodgers’s Centre located in Ontario, Canada, home of The Blue Jays, has been under construction this year in order to renovate the Centre and give the fans a much better experience.
Costs
The stadium was first built 34 years ago with the starting name being Sky Dome, though was later renamed Toronto Rogers’s Centre. Roger’s Centre was opened in June 1989 after two and half years of construction (October 1986 to May 1989.) After the investment of $300 Million, the motive for the renovation was to transform Toronto Rogers’s Centre into a modern stadium.
The first phase of the Toronto Roger’s Centre project, according to the PCL Construction and the Ontario Construction Report website, mainly consisted of outfield renovations, such as, demolitions, bullpens being raised and parts of the lower level’s being reshaped to create a social setting for fans to converse or mingle. With the first phase of the project, which was completed on March 31st, the second phase has begun to come into play. The second phase for the Toronto Rogers’s Centre has 350 workers which is three times more than the number that was present when work on the first phase.
PCL Construction Canada Inc. was given the responsibility of completing the second phase of the Toronto Rogers’s Centre renovation, seeing that they have entrusted with and completed 30 and more big projects in Canada.
The second phase includes a reconceived 100 level seating bowl made for baseball viewing and three new premium clubs with the best seats in the stadium. The demolition of the lower bowl took place on October 13th to October 26th as well as removing and recycling any materials. There was a field excavation that took place in order to create additional space for the newest player facilities and clubs. On October 26th a field-level excavation occurred and 780 truckloads of material were removed from Toronto Rogers’s Centre and 530 truckloads were brought. In November the first steel column was brought in and put up on the 14th and another 2.4 Million pounds of steel while be forged away from the contraction site and will be placed in Toronto Rogers’s Centre. The date of completion of the project is set between 2024 and 2025. |
