Round Rock Sports Center Expansion 

See the Video Here

The City of Round Rock marked a major milestone with the recent expansion of the Round Rock Sports Center, further strengthening its position as a premier destination for sports tourism. Originally opened in 2014, the facility has generated more than $210 million in economic impact and hosts over 70,000 athletes and 120,000 spectators annually.

The $17.5 million expansion adds 25,000 square feet, including two full-size basketball courts or four volleyball courts, championship seating, a secondary entrance, and additional parking. The upgraded facility can now accommodate large-scale, multi-event tournaments simultaneously.

Covington partnered with Marmon Mok Architects and John King Construction on the project, installing 16,585 square feet of Robbins BioChannel SB for the new courts and Sportwood Ultra Star in support spaces. The expansion builds on the original 2013 installation, continuing a long-standing relationship and reinforcing Round Rock’s commitment to high-performance athletic environments.

The addition of two new courts featuring a Robbins Bio-Channel SB system, installed by Covington, has elevated the facility’s ability to host large-scale events. It’s a candid look at what it takes to design, build, and operate courts built for championship-level performance.

Are Glass Basketball Floors The Future?

View the Video Here

In this video, we take a hard look at recent conversation around glass sports floors and how they compare to the proven performance of traditional hardwood courts. From player safety and traction to long-term durability, we break down what really matters when athletes step on the floor.

But this isn’t a one-sided argument.

We also address an important reality: not every facility is built for hardwood. In coastal regions, flood-prone environments, and multi-purpose facilities like churches, elementary schools, and auxiliary gyms, modern polyurethane pad-and-pour systems have become a smart, strategic alternative. These seamless synthetic floors now offer impressive slip resistance, shock absorption, and—most importantly—moisture resistance that wood simply can’t match.

So what’s the right choice?

It depends on how your facility is used, where it’s located, and what demands it faces over time.

Whether you’re building a championship-level arena or a high-traffic multi-use space, making the right flooring decision matters.

At Covington, we help you get it right the first time.
