Facility Visit

• The planning and construction process for a sport facility is complex and requires a variety of building materials, construction elements, and exterior and interior components. For this assignment, locate a sport facility in your area. This can include a college arena, high school gymnasium, YMCA, fitness center, or a parks and recreation facility. Determine a time to visit this facility; you may have to contact the facility management to schedule this. If you are deployed military or have another situation that does not allow you to make a facility visit, please locate a virtual facility tour online. To do this, you can use a search engine to search "virtual stadium tour," "virtual sport facility tour," or something similar to this. Note that if you select the virtual option, you may have to conduct additional research to answer the required questions.

• Next, you will write a three-page paper answering the questions presented in the following section. References are not required for this assignment if the facility is visited in person, but you may include them if you want to provide more depth to your paper. If you used a virtual tour and/or had to conduct outside research, a reference page must be included.
