The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum is a city gem. Standing next to the University of Southern California campus, the Coliseum is home to the USC football team as well as the temporary home to the Los Angeles Rams. Having hosted several historic and iconic sports events, including the 1932 and 1984 Olympic games, the venue was due for a much needed revamp. 

In addition to these upgrades, the refurbishment includes the construction of a new "Scholarship Tower" that will house 3,000 students. Renovations on the stadium were recently completed, while work on the tower is well underway in order to accomplish the project's fall competition date. Popular Mechanics provides a detailed description of the Coliseum's construction process and delves into the construction of the new Scholarship Tower. 

Remarking on the historic nature of the stadium to Popular Mechanics, Don Barnum, DLR Group principal and lead of the firm’s Sports Studio shares, "What makes it a National Historic Landmark is not just bricks and mortar, but all the things that have happened in the building.”
