The TRACK at New Balance
Scope/Solutions
The TRACK at new balance, part of the Boston Landing development in Brighton, is a multi-sport venue with a 200 m hydraulically banked indoor track and a ground-level concert venue. SGH consulted on the roofing and waterproofing design for the project.
SGH consulted on the design of below-grade and plaza waterproofing, standing seam wall assemblies, and low-slope membrane roofing. Highlights of our work include:
- Reviewing the proposed roofing and waterproofing design and recommending system types, finishes, and materials
- Consulting on the hot-applied rubberized asphalt terrace at the monumental stairs and terrace connecting to the track interior
- Assisting with the design of roofing assemblies, including:
- Low-slope roofing details with varying conditions, including the high roof with three built-in gutters
- Locations where the high roof transitions to a vertical, standing seam metal assembly designed with several lines of falling snow protection
- A 72,000 sq ft photovoltatic panel assembly installed on the high roof
- Providing construction phase services, including reviewing related submittals, visiting the site to observe installation of the roofing and waterproofing systems, and helping the project team address field conditions

Given the sanctuary’s focus on preserving the natural environment, the project team designed the building with an exposed structure and natural wood cladding that impresses guests while blending in with the surrounding habitat. SGH designed the structure and consulted on the building enclosure.
