| BIOGRAPHY
Prior
to starting Dominick R. Pilla Associates, P.C. (DRPA) in
1999, Mr. Pilla gained his professional experience by
working on a comprehensive spectrum of building types.
His diversified experience has enabled him to develop
highly complex and technologically challenging building
systems for projects spanning civil, residential,
commercial, institutional, sports and entertainment
facilities. Design types range from utilizing
conventional materials such as steel, aluminum, wood,
concrete, masonry and glass to highly specialized long
span, light weight systems utilizing structural
membranes. Mr. Pilla’s unique training as both an
engineer and as an architect and diversified exposure
has enabled him to head up projects internationally and
to work on highly specialized projects requiring the
culmination of design professionals to successfully
complete projects of a time prohibitive and complex
nature. The firm is continuing to pursue in the same
vein- remaining diversified and stimulated by the ever
changing and highly demanding built environment.

Stadium roof replacement, Iowa
Scope of Work: Roof Replacement and ancillary
improvements such as office remodeling, athletic
floor replacement, sports lighting improvements
and sound reinforcement.
Scope of Services: Design, Master Planning, and
Project Coordination.
The hybrid roof system was developed to replace
the existing 450 ft diameter air supported roof
system at the University of Northern Iowa UNI-Dome.
The hybrid system designed for this application
utilizes the existing cables used for the air
supported system as a secondary cable system
linked by vertical members to the new crossed
arch system. Stainless steel standing seam roof
panels were supported by structural metal deck
and bar joists, which formed the skin of the
peripheral area of the roof, covering 75% of the
roof surface. The center 45,000 SF polygon is
enclosed with an arch supported PTFE fabric
tensile roof. |
