Edison Housing Authority Tennis and Basketball Court Improvements Location The Opportunity Edison, New Jersey The Edison Housing Authority (EHA) oversees the public housing communities of Robert E. Holmes Gardens and Julius C. Engel Gardens located in Edison, New Jersey. PS&S provided its Site Civil Engineering and Landscape Architecture services to EHA for the design of new tennis and basketball courts located adjacent to the Authority’s administrative offices. Client Edison Housing Authority Client Type Public Works Discipline - Site Civil Engineering & Landscape Architecture Project Dates April 2023 - July 2024 The Challenge The Edison Housing Authority’s existing 14,000-square foot asphalt basketball courts were showing signs of wear from age and active use; rejuvenation of this amenity was crucial in providing an engaging recreation area to the community’s residents and their guests. The basketball-exclusive configuration of the existing court layout limited the space’s use to a single sport and it was evident to the PS&S design team that the community required an additional option for recreation. The PS&S Solution PS&S Landscape Architecture team developed construction bid documents for brand new tennis and basketball courts along with specifying the associated site furnishings for spectators. In addition to the installation of new court fencing and sidewalk replacement to provide the residents with a more welcoming amenity space, improvements were implemented to upgrade the existing court lighting to energy-efficient LED lighting. An energetic blue and green color scheme was selected for the new court surface, which complements the spirit of the Edison Housing Authority’s mission of dynamic public engagement. PS&S supported EHA with the bid support, construction administration and grant funding compliance. The project was completed in July, 2024. www.psands.com
