Case Engineering’s Structural team is collaborating with ARCO Construction on a new, state-of-the-art WOW! family entertainment center in Fenton, Missouri.
Under construction at 130 Fiedler Lane off Hwy. 141, the $15 million, two-level interactive entertainment complex will feature a restaurant and bar, 18-hole mountain-style miniature golf course, eight lanes of duckpin bowling, Top Golf Swing Suite simulators, polysynthetic ice curling, virtual reality booths, karaoke rooms, private event spaces, and an outdoor patio.
Case designed the building’s steel frame and provided structural performance criteria for design of the building’s tilt-up wall panels. Tilt-up construction, which involves casting concrete wall panels on-site and tilting them into place, is gaining popularity due to the method’s cost effectiveness, customization opportunities, durability, energy efficiency, and fast installation.
Additional features of the 24,000 sq ft facility’s structural design include a 3,000 sq ft interior mezzanine and two-tier roof. The roof is constructed of steel-framed bar joists and joist girders, with the highest roof deck elevated to 31 feet.
Construction on the WOW! entertainment complex is expected to be completed in late 2025.
