Construction
When the USTA/Volvo Tennis announced in 1989 that the Volvo Tennis Tournament was going be held annually at Yale University and City of New Haven (site of a US Open qualifier tournament for ATP and WTA players), the organizers chose Architects Edward Larrabee Barnes and John My Lee Architects to build the permanent facility in 1991 due to Barnes' previous Yale projects. The entire design and construction process took only 11 months from start to finish, most of the structure was made of prefab concrete components made on site and pieced together. This was done by Blakeslee Prestress Inc.

Lead architect, Lee, an avid tennis player and fan, said the open sides, "Reduced the fishbowl effect and made the construction access much easier."
