Gainesville, Florida
The University of Florida set out to create an $80 million state-of-the-art performance center designed to serve SEC athletes. This Gainesville facility represented one of the most significant collegiate builds in recent history and offered an opportunity to demonstrate how innovative equipment systems could transform the daily training experience at the highest level of college athletics.
PLAE collaborated with Florida athletics staff to create a facility balancing functionality with visual impact. The team delivered customized rack systems, athletic turf, and equipment while carefully designing layouts that enhance athlete flow. By listening closely to staff needs, PLAE crafted a weight room combining durability, performance, and aesthetics that has impressed coaches and athletes while setting new standards.
The Parramatta Eels set out to build the world's largest Rugby League training facility, serving men's, women's, and youth pathway programs. The Sydney-based NRL club needed a high-performance environment that could support large squad training simultaneously, with dedicated spaces for strength work, speed development, tactical preparation, and recovery.
PLAE partnered with the Eels to deliver their Centre of Excellence. The facility features performance flooring, athletic turf for speed and agility work, dedicated wrestling mats, and fully outfitted strength areas with custom-branded equipment. Every detail reinforces team identity while maximizing functionality. Multiple squads can now train together seamlessly, setting a global benchmark for professional rugby facilities.
