Architect

Cannon Designs

Location

College Park, MD

Shickel Corporation had the unique opportunity to design, fabricate and install the Terrapin on the football field of the University of Maryland. The Turtle, as it is known affectionately around campus, is a rally point for the team before they burst onto the field to take on another opponent. To ensure a smooth and swift installation, the entire 30 foot by 40 foot Turtle was fabricated and assembled as a full-scale mock-up in our shop. The Turtle was a part of the larger New Cole Field House project where Shickel also fabricated and installed terrace rails, gates and handrailing. To see how the Turtle was built watch the time-lapse below.
