2RW has played a key role in the transformation of Davenport Field over the past two decades, providing a variety of services that have included:

• MEP/FP system design for the original facility and subsequent renovations and additions to meet LEED certifications. Field lighting design was a particular challenge for this project, as it required a careful balance to meet two critical requirements: minimizing light pollution and light trespass to surrounding properties while providing sufficient illumination to meet NCAA and ESPN standards for televised play.
• LEED energy modeling to compare projected energy use to ASHRAE guidelines and verify compliance with state energy code requirements.
• LEED Fundamental commissioning which identified faulty HVAC and lighting controls and improper control wiring and damper operation. Identifying and correcting these problems early prevented equipment malfunctions, improper ventilation and conditioning, and wasted energy.

These comprehensive stadium enhancements help UVA continue to compete among the nation’s elite baseball programs. The best-in-class facilities and amenities support program development efforts by attracting new fans and prospective players and the LEED facility advances the goals of the University’s sustainability plan. The initial facility is LEED Certified and the latest expansion has earned LEED Silver certification.
