Beginning on May 25, 1959, construction of the Assembly Hall was carried out by structural engineers Othmar Ammann and Charles Whitney, general contractor Felmley-Dickerson Co., and architect Max Abramovitz, taking almost four years of construction before its completion on May 3, 1963. The Assembly Hall was an engineering wonder when it was first constructed, as it was the first ever concrete dome arena built and remained to be until the construction of the Astrodome in Houston, Texas two years later. Weighing over 4000 tons from only the roof, the concrete dome of the Assembly Hall spans at a 400 feet diameter, 128 feet tall, and built with a folded plate design in about 3.5 inches in thickness.…
