New Buildings $30 Million to $80 Million: University of California, San Diego, Epstein Family Amphitheater

Description

Exploration of the design decisions and unique challenges presented at the Epstein Family Amphitheater - which serves as the new gateway to the University of California, San Diego campus. The state-of-the-art outdoor entertainment venue hosts a wide variety of events for the university's nationally ranked theater, dance, visual arts and music programs with a capacity of 2,850 divided between two bowl seating sections and a large steeply sloped law. The presentation focuses on the main structural components of the steel diagrid canopy shell and concrete back-of-house structure, while touching on the other site elements composed of an open-air kiosk structure and subterranean restroom facilities - each with their own unique geometry and challenges.

Dean Schoenberg, P.E., S.E.

Dean Schoenberg joined Thornton Tomasetti in 2011 and has since gathered more than a decade of experience in concrete, CMU and steel design and detailing for seismic provisions, as well as modeling and analysis of structural responses to seismic loading. Dean received his M.S. in Structural Engineering from the University of California, San Diego, and his B.S. in Civil Engineering from Washington State University. His extensive project portfolio spans diverse sectors, from education to residential, government, commercial, hospitality, mixed-use, transportation and sports. In his role as Project Manager on the Epstein Family Amphitheater, Dean played a pivotal role in the structural design for the amphitheater, which includes a stage covered by a 40-foot-tall, ETFE-clad, diagrid steel shell and concrete back-of-house facilities structural design and detail development of the ETFE roof canopy. His leadership on the project involved close collaboration with the design team and fabricators, utilizing form-finding techniques to develop the geometry, ensuring that architectural intent, structural efficiency and feasibility were balanced.
