Legacy Completes Construction of New Tennis Facility in Cape Cod

SAINT CLOUD, Minn. - Jan. 27, 2022 - PRLog -- Legacy Building Systems is proud to announce the opening the Mid-Cape Athletic Club, a tension fabric structure designed, manufactured and installed by Legacy.

Often when Legacy installs a new structure, they put up the building and then the building owners install the tennis courts afterward. The Mid-Cape project reversed that process so our crews ended up installing the building over the existing four courts.

Mid-Cape was replacing their previous air-supported fabric structure—sometimes called a bubble building—with a Legacy building. With the new building, they went from a temporary building that they had to take down seasonally to a more permanent tension fabric structure that would last decades. In its buildings, Legacy uses solid steel frames and fabric panels constructed with the company's proprietary ExxoTec fabric. This adds to both the longevity and durability of the structure.

Durability is important on Cape Cod because wind is an issue—all the time. Using solid steel and tough ExxoTec gives Legacy the ability to engineer and design a building that will stand up to extreme weather. Legacy achieved Florida Product Approval, one of the toughest building standards in terms of wind.

For this project, being able to engineer a building for very strong winds put Legacy ahead of its competition.

Legacy customizes every building it creates, so we work around the needs of our customers. In this case, our flexibility regarding the permits and zoning of the project helped keep it on track. In addition to local codes and regulations, the athletic facility met all US Tennis Association requirements.
