START DATE

The Manning Center at the University of Mississippi is an important facility for the football program’s operations, players’ use, and for recruiting. But it was in need of expansion and updating.

The Manning Center Training Facility Upgrade project consisted of two phases. The first phase was a new addition with a 10,710-square-foot weight room, hydrotherapy, training, sports meds, new offices for coaches, and team meeting rooms. The second phase was a renovation with upgrades such as a new locker room, players’ lounge, equipment room, plunge pools, and more. The new locker room includes 130 customized lockers and an additional 70 lockers for coaches and support staff. The upgraded facility, opened in July 2023, had a completed cost of $45.7 million.

Our substantial completion day was July 15, which we met, despite several delays due to weather. Legally we could have had an extension of 15 days, but at ICM we want to deliver the building when the owner needs it. We found ways for all trades to work in unison rather then creating a delay for our owner. The project involved 67 different companies that we managed.

During construction, the football program was able to utilize the practice field, host summer camps and continue daily activities without disruption. We met the owner’s expectations and gave them space to operate. And during it all, the project had zero accidents.
