PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The MidAmerican Energy Company RecPlex is a state-of-the-art sports complex developed on approximately 62 acres of land at 6500 Grand Avenue in West Des Moines, Iowa. Spanning 300,000 square feet, the complex has many facilities designed to cater to a variety of sports. These facilities include two indoor ice arenas, an indoor full-size turf field, four basketball courts, three pickleball courts, and four batting cages. Additionally, the complex features an E-Sports center, a physical therapy center, and three outdoor turf fields, making it a versatile venue for both athletes and the community.

Since its opening in 2021, the MidAmerican Energy Company RecPlex has been met with great success  from the public. The City of West Des Moines is in preliminary discussions about  expansion to meet growing demand and enhance the facility’s offerings.

Civil Design Advantage played a role in the development of this project by providing comprehensive services that included master planning, preliminary design, and final design. Additionally, CDA offered limited construction administration to ensure the project’s successful completion. The preliminary and final design phases involved the preparation of detailed construction and contract documents, enabling the city to bid the project in accordance with bidding laws and regulations. This meticulous approach ensured that the RecPlex met all necessary standards and provided a top-tier recreational facility for the community.
