Recreation

Mortenson has a proven track record constructing sports and multipurpose venue projects. We use our in-depth knowledge of this type of complex project and our experience working with municipalities to help you make the best decisions to maximize the available time and funds for your project.

We understand how event centers need to serve multiple functions in order to provide the most benefit to the community and still maximize its revenue. One day your facility may be the arena for a sports event, then quickly transform for a rock concert, and soon after may host a rodeo, truck rally, or other special event.

We want to build your vision of a center that your community will be proud to serve as hosts to local and visiting crowds.

"Working with the Mortenson team has been an exceptional experience for our team at Harley-Davidson. Leadership and insight during the design and preconstruction phase has engaged a collaborative team spirit between our design team (HGA and Pentagram), our consultants, and within our own internal team."

 “The people - the team assembled by Mortenson  - was second to none.  There are people here I trust and value, people who work to find the answer if they don’t know it, people who care - not just about their part, but about the whole project.”
