Cadets Tour Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta

Five civil engineering cadets, one systems engineering cadet and one Civil and Mechanical Engineering (CME) faculty member were given a tour of the Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta by the general manager of the Stadium. The stadium is one of only two LEED Platinum (highest sustainability rating) stadiums in America and uses innovated techniques, not only in construction but in operation as well. The tour, both while empty and during an event, aided the cadets in their capstone on the improvements and redesign of Michie Stadium. While in Atlanta, they also toured the Engineering Labs in Georgia Tech and met future West Point instructors.
