Representing the focal point for the downtown Albany rejuvenation, the 160,000 square foot, 17,000 seat Times Union Center (formerly Pepsi Arena) is home to concerts, trade shows, professional hockey, lacrosse and arena football franchises, collegiate hockey, wrestling and basketball tournaments, as well as an Olympic size ice rink.

MLB was engaged in the joint venture project to provide construction management including fast-track services that would allow for the ongoing development of significant design features during early construction. The unique scope of the project involved the award of more than 57 separate contracts for the County of Albany.

Through a combination of careful planning and scheduling, and excellent subcontractor relations, the Arena was completed as scheduled to take advantage of the upcoming events season.
