Hayward Field Tower pays tribute to the University of Oregon legacy with graphics depicting five Oregon track and field icons

Featured ProjectEugene, Oregon

Hayward Field Tower

Hayward Field at the University of Oregon has hosted numerous USA Olympic Track and Field Trials and NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships since its original construction in 1919. The stadium has had more “World’s Greatest Athlete” titles given to decathlon world record breakers than at any other venue. The renovations from 2018-2020 included the addition of a 9-story tower at the northeast corner of the stadium. This landmark, designed by SRG, was inspired by the Olympic torch and pays tribute to the university’s legacy depicting five Oregon track and field icons. Using Zahner's ImageWall® technology, the perforation pattern displays images of coach Bill Bowerman, and athletes, Steve Prefontaine, Raevyn Rogers, Ashton Eaton and Otis Davis.

Featured ProjectLos Angeles, California

Emerson LA

Emerson College LA is designed by Morphosis with a series of custom facade systems design-engineered, manufactured, and installed by Zahner. The new Emerson College campus in Los Angeles provides a landmark for film and performing arts students of the Boston-based college to study in an immersive environment. The innovative design by the esteemed architects at Morphosis provides an integrated and efficient experience for both visitors and students. Working with Zahner's Design Assist team of engineers, designers and fabricators, this generative design was developed for manufacturing. A team of Zahner installers completed the project in Los Angeles, providing the campus with a visually compelling, efficiently envisioned, and rapidly completed building envelope system.
