Detroit-based architectural firm Rossetti filed plans for a building permit with the city for a $5 million steel package as part of the Jacksonville Jaguars’ $120 million Sports Performance Center.
Rossetti is the lead designer on the Jaguars partnership with the city to build a 127,087-square-foot practice, training and executive team office facility near TIAA Bank Field.
A diagram of the facility included in the permit application shows the steel will be used for the structure’s frame.
The Rossetti design firm specializes in sports entertainment facilities design, including work with the Daytona International Speedway and Arthur Ashe Stadium for the U.S. Open in Queens, New York.
City Council voted unanimously in August for a bill that authorizes Mayor Lenny Curry’s administration to borrow $60 million to help finance the city’s half of the project cost.
Plans filed with the permit application show Jacksonville-based England, Thims & Miller Inc. is the civil engineer on the Jaguars project.
The project’s other contractors are firms based throughout the U.S.
FP&C Consultants of North Kansas City, Missouri, will be responsible for code monitoring and site safety.
Detroit-based Resurget Engineering is the structural engineer; IDIBRI of Addison, Texas, is the technology and security contractor; Lenexa, Kansas-based Henderson Engineering Inc. is the lighting engineer; and Lincoln, Nebraska-based Food Lines is the facility’s food service provider.
The facility will be northwest of the stadium at 1270 E. Beaver St., according to the application.
According to the legislation and the NFL team’s public agreement, the Jaguars will move team offices; an equipment room; and weight training and medical facilities from the stadium to the city-owned performance center.
The Downtown Development Review Board approved the facility design in October to includes an indoor practice field; two outdoor natural-grass fields with about 2,300 bleacher seats; a team store; and concession facilities.
The Jaguars plan to break ground in 2022 on the performance center and a $321 million Four Seasons-anchored project through team owner Shad Khan’s development company Iguana Investments Florida LLC.
