USC Memorial Coliseum

The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, located on the campus of the University of Southern California, is undergoing an extensive renovation. The Coliseum has hosted local and world-class events for nearly 100 years including two Olympics, the Super Bowl, World Series, famous concerts, a papal visitation, and classic football rivalries, traditions, and memories for countless USC and collegiate fans for nearly a century. To keep the tradition going, the Coliseum is undergoing an extensive renovation and addition that while preserving its history and iconic status will update the facility to meet the needs of the USC football program as well as the community for concerts, sporting and cultural events.

The goal of the renovation is to improve seating, restore the iconic peristyle to more closely resemble the stadium’s original design, improve audio and video displays, install new field and stadium lighting, and replace electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems to meet current standards.

To create a multipurpose facility that is both economic and sustainable, a new six-level addition with basement will be constructed to include premium seating for USC football fans, media space, kitchens, concession stands, suites and restrooms. The $270 million renovation is expected to be completed in Summer of 2019. Construction is taking place while the facility remains open for football games and events. 3QC is performing commissioning services to ensure compliance with local and state (Title 24) codes as well as ensure the proper design, construction and functionality of major building systems including mechanical, electrical, plumbing, lighting, kitchen equipment, security, and fire alarm systems and equipment. 3QC also provides communications protocols for team members (some of whom are under separate contracts), establishes intended systems testing practices and associated reporting mechanisms, develops team member responsibilities and provides additional detail to the quality requirements identified in the project Specifications.
