University of Kentucky Football Training Center Has Clear View of The Field Thanks to Strong Tower Construction

The newly unveiled $45 million Kentucky Football Training Center is state of the art!  From the 15,000 square foot weight room to the adjoining training room, complete with X-ray machine, two exam rooms, hot and cold tubs, and an underwater treadmill, it is clear Kentucky is all about training!  The team will definitely be able to run, but not hide from the coach these days!  Among other unique features of the building envelope, Strong Tower installed the glass railing of the patio outside the coach’s office and the wall of windows overlooking the two new outdoor practice fields. The beautiful facility  has curtainwall with integrated Sunshades,  as well as storefront windows so the building envelope lets in ample natural light to keep the team members happy and productive.  The tastefully designed Heavy Glass interior Storefront systems, stair rails, trophy cases and uniform display center were some of the other proud work of Strong Tower.  Coach Stoops gave Strong Tower the highest praise upon the completion of the project, and now Strong Tower Construction has one thing to say back, “Go Blue!”

Strong Tower Construction 77 Years of Window, Curtainwall & Door Expertise

Strong Tower Construction was  written up in the US Builder’s Review, Fall 2013 Edition III.  Sean O’Reilly & Molly Shaw correctly describe Strong Tower as having increased their national footprint across the continental U.S.  In 2013 alone, Strong Tower had employees in Anchorage, Alaska, Buffalo, NY, Louisiana and Tampa, Florida, just to name a few of the states where Koch was putting their 77 years of expertise to work.  O’Reilly & Shaw go on to point out that Strong Tower offers in-house product application design services, shop drawing and drafting and that they have an on-site fabrication facility.  They quote Strong Tower’s CEO, Benjamin Feinn as saying, “If we’re acting as the prime glazing contractor, about the only service we won’t perform is roofing.  Because we’ve been around for 77 years and we’ve never left anyone high and wet, we get a lot of calls from general contractors who want us to work with them.  Some people shop around based on price, but we stand for quality.”  To read more about Strong Tower (formerly known as, Koch Corporation) in the US Builder’s Review, click here for the full article.  To read the article in the copy edition, go to page 81-84.
