History of the BankAtlantic Center
When H. Wayne Huizenga obtained the new franchise for the Florida Panthers
Hockey Team in 1993, the search began for a new arena. When the site in Sunrise,
Florida was selected in June of 1996 the race was on to build the new home of
the Florida Panthers for the 1998 hockey season.
In July, 1996, Alex Muxo gathered more than a dozen architects, engineers and
contractors for the first major design brainstorming session. Architects Ellerbe
Becket were given the 26-month time frame. They had accepted the challenge of
designing and constructing a building from start to finish in 26 months,
something they had never attempted before.
The construction team comprised of Centex/Rooney Huber, Hunt & Nichols and
Morse Diesel was led by Walter Upton who was the Director of Construction for
Arena Development Company. Working together was key on this overwhelming
project. For months on end, workers were building the arena in two shifts
including weekends.
It took more than 600 construction workers to set masonry, erect drywall, run
plumbing lines, install air conditioning and run countless miles of conduit for
the electrical systems. The theater style cushioned seats, carpeting and tile
were installed by nearly 500 workers. Seventy suites were completed with wet
bars, closed circuited monitors and leather upholstery. Averaging over 650
square feet, the suites are the largest in the country for this type of
facility.
One incredible fact of this amazing feat is that all of the activity
generated by over 50 subcontractors and a total of 2.3 million man hours were
completed without a single injury.
On October 3, 1998 the BankAtlantic Center opened its doors to the public. It
has been a great place for fans and families to bring their Fort Lauderdale 15
Passenger Van Rental Car Rentals and enjoy all that this wonderful facility has
to offer.
