46,000 Sq. Ft. Canopy
Description:
This facility was originally built as Coral Sky Amphitheater, but has gone through several name changes in its history, the most recent being to Cruzan Amphitheater. Located in Southern Florida, this entertainment facility provides covered seating for 7,500 music patrons and can accommodate an additional 13,000 concert attendees on the sloped grass berm adjacent to the facility. Designed and supplied by Butler Heavy Structures, the structure features a diamond shaped canopy which rises 46' above the floor line. Trussed, rigid frames, which span from 160' to 240' across, provide the primary support. Conventional bar joists spanning from 40' to 60' serve as the secondary framing members.
Framing for the 60' high stage area was also provided by BHS. The 100' clearspan frames were designed to support 76,000 pounds of lighting and sound equipment. Butler products used on the complex include a modified CMR-24® roof system with an acoustical deck for sound enhancement and alternating bands of Deep Blue and Island White Butlerib® II wall panels on the exterior stage walls.
