Powering Upgrades at Northwestern University’s Ryan Field
Project Highlight
Overview
Northwestern University is redeveloping Ryan Field into a state-of-the-art sports and entertainment venue designed to serve student-athletes, fans, and the surrounding Evanston community.
As part of this major infrastructure investment, Industrial Electric Supply was engaged to provide over $2 million in switchgear equipment to support safe and efficient electrical distribution throughout the facility.
The new stadium is being designed as a flexible, year-round community space, requiring dependable electrical systems to support lighting, video displays, HVAC, and life safety operations.
