Schemmer attended the Iowa West Field House Pickleball Club Ribbon Cutting ceremony on Wednesday, September 25th.
This project was a 16,000 SF tenant improvement project for the Iowa West Foundation in previously vacant bays of the Iowa West Fieldhouse in Council Bluffs. The existing facility already houses several basketball and volleyball courts. This project transformed the vacant bays into an indoor Pickleball facility with six courts including a specialized sports floor and court divider nets.

Schemmer also provided mechanical and electrical engineering work to utilize the existing HVAC units and allow all utilities to be separately metered from the existing facility.
