Case Study: Capital Region Development Authority revitalizes PeoplesBank Arena with Dimeo Construction Company

Capital Region Development Authority renovates PeoplesBank Arena over 12 years with Dimeo Construction Company

The Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA) manages the PeoplesBank Arena, a premier and constantly active entertainment venue in a dense urban setting. Their challenge was to execute major multi-phase renovations over a 12-year period without disrupting the arena's packed schedule of over 80 annual events, requiring meticulous coordination with local authorities. They engaged Dimeo Construction Company as their construction partner to perform this complex, occupied renovation.

Dimeo Construction Company carefully sequenced all construction work around the arena's active event calendar, pausing and resuming for each game and concert. The comprehensive solution included replacing all locker rooms and restrooms, upgrading MEP and security systems, expanding concourses, adding a new sports betting lounge, and installing new seating and scoreboards. The successful multi-phase project enhanced the fan experience and modernized the facility while ensuring no disruption to operations, evidenced by the seven championship banners hung throughout the duration of their partnership.
