Barclays Center at Atlantic Yards

OVERVIEW
The Atlantic Yards project consists of the redevelopment of six city blocks in the Prospect Heights section of Brooklyn, NY and includes the Barclays Center, an entertainment center and new home arena of the Brooklyn Nets. Langan served as the geotechnical engineer for the arena and high-rise structures at the Vanderbilt Yard. In addition, Langan's site-specific seismic study resulted in a favorable seismic designation, thus avoiding unnecessary seismic detailing and connections, and more importantly, foundation ties – which saved millions of dollars.
