Sportsplex Management Group LLC York, Maine Sports Project
Rubb, inc USA helped finance a new indoor sports facility in York, Maine, USA.
The Structure had previously been used as a coffee store in Boston and was relocated to York, then lengthened and is now a first class sports facility complete with turfed playing area.
Acton-Agua Dulce Unified Acton, California Recreation Project
A small charter school in the high desert northwest of Los Angeles, California needed a gym and had little capital with which to fund the project. Rubb was able to put together a turnkey proposal that covered the facility costs, lighting, ventilation, sports equipment, flooring and installation; and all of which was funded by a municipal lease.
As with any school type construction the facility had to meet both local and state codes without exception. The building, (a 100' x 116.67' BVE Range w/16.4' Sidewalls) also had to take the day to day abuse of over 300 teenagers. Rubb designed and manufactured a hybrid facility with a high quality PVC coated polyester membrane roof, our standard hot dip galvanized steel frame and insulated double sided steel panel walls. The insulated double sided steel panels provide a damage resistance barrier around the perimeter of the facility to 11' from the base.
Rubb was able to reduce the cost of installing basketball hoops and netting as both systems were designed to be supported from the main steel frame. Rubb works directly with heating and lighting companies, saving money on the systems and their installation by designing the steel frame to support the systems directly.
Gorham Sports Center Gorham, Maine Recreation Project
Rubb recently completed its third indoor sports facility in southern Maine. Located in Gorham, the 185' clear span by 267' long structure was originally planned to be an air supported structure. However, after various issues arose with local planning and authorities as well as the Fire Marshall, it was determined that Rubb offered the best solution to meet the customer's and town's requirements.

Portland Sports Center LLC Portland, Maine Sports Project
The Rubb/SMG team completed a major indoor sports facility in Portland, Maine. Sportsplex Management Group (SMG) is a Maine owned and operated company specializing in the design and promotion of indoor sports facilities. The Portland Sports facility was ordered in June of 2003 and teams were playing soccer five months later. In addition to the regulation sized playing fields, the 178' clear span by 251' long facility houses a sports pub, indoor batting cages, locker rooms, function areas and spectator seating for up to 500. The Portland Sports Center is also the new home for the Frozen Ropes Baseball and Softball Training Operation. When the facility is not being used for soccer, field hockey, baseball, ultimate Frisbee and other sports it can be used for events such as camping and boat shows, food and wine expos and various automobile and motor sports shows. The clear span and high translucent roof together with a clean, flat turf floor provide a facility with endless possibilities.

Challenge Unlimited Andover, Massachusetts Recreation Project
Challenge Unlimited at Ironstone Farm, located in picturesque Andover, Massachusetts, sits a stone's throw away from the busy I-495 corridor just north west of Boston. Ironstone's founder, Richard Donovan, started the farm in 1960 as a breeding and training facility for thoroughbred horses. In 2001, the non-profit Challenge Unlimited purchased Ironstone to preserve the property and its programs for generations to come.
Today, employing horses in a working farm environment, Challenge Unlimited provides beneficial therapy for people with physical, emotional and cognitive disabilities. Having a new riding arena has been a dream for Challenge Unlimited and that dream became a reality this year with the construction of a custom Rubb riding arena. Measuring 80' (24.39m) wide by 200' (60.97m) long with a sidewall height of 19.8' (6m), the Rubb BVE structure sits on an I-beam foundation and was designed to a 30 psf ground snow load and 110 mph 3-second gust wind speed.
After years of experience in the field, Ironstone Farm Founder Richard Donovan used the qualities of the RUBB signature design, incorporated the aesthetic and functional needs of the program, and worked with the RUBB design team to create the ideal structure for Challenge Unlimited. The end result was stunning - a conventional membrane structure with translucent roof that looks like a traditional New England style barn. It is a true melding of modern materials and science with traditional construction. Complete with a 3' eave overhang, sliding barn doors, and divided light windows, the Ironstone arena gives Challenge Unlimited's riders the feel-good outdoor environment that enhances their therapeutic experience.
Mr. Donovan states "It was a pleasure to work with the folks at RUBB. Their engineers heard and understood our specific needs, were willing to work with us on design changes, and brought the concept to reality."
All of at Rubb, Inc. are pleased to have been part of this worthwhile project and we support the excellent work that Challenge Unlimited continues to do for so many people. We are proud to add them to our long list of satisfied customers.
Fryeburg Fair Fryeburg, Maine Recreation Project
In September 2007, Rubb Buildings of Sanford, Maine designed, manufactured and erected a 50' x 24' BVE custom stage enclosure for the Fryeburg Fair in Fryeburg, Maine. The transportable structure was installed on a flatbed trailer built specifically to support the 16,000 lb. load of the enclosure.
The building was designed with an open gable with architectural accents, (2) personnel doors in the rear gable, and roll-up sidewalls. Rubb engineers designed the structure with a 3 psf collateral load to support a theatrical speaker system and lights.
