Giffels Webster performed the civil engineering, landscape design and surveying for The Police Athletic League (PAL) Headquarters project that is a part of an exciting mixed-use redevelopment of the former Tiger Stadium site. Located at the intersection of Michigan and Cochrane Avenues in the Corktown Neighborhood of Detroit, the project will consist of a playing field that will host athletic events for youth leagues; concessions; 2,200 bleacher-style seats; a two-story building that will house the PAL Headquarters, the Hank Greenberg Hall of Heros exhibit space and a banquet space with a seating capacity of 300; as well as a State Police Outpost building. Infrastructure improvements included in this project are the replacement of the curb and sidewalk along Michigan Avenue and Cochrane Street; domestic water service for the State Police Outpost, PAL Headquarters building, and the bleacher/concourse area along the first base line; a fire service connection to the PAL Headquarters building; and separate storm and sanitary sewer lines. The historic flag pole will remain in the outfield of the new field.
