BASS PRO SHOPS at the MEMPHIS PYRAMID
Retrofit / Alteration
Originally constructed in 1990 as a sports and concert venue,
the Memphis Pyramid Arena has completed a voluntary seismic
renovation and extensive tenant improvements to become a
new immersive, destination experience for Bass Pro Shops.

ARCHITECT:

(analysis/retrofit phase)
The 535,000 square foot facility features multiple specialty
themed retail structures constructed inside the pyramid
including nearly 600,000 gallons of water features, a cypress
swamp with 100-foot-tall trees, an 84,000 gallon alligator
habitat, an underwater ecosystems display, restaurants, a 13lane bowling alley, a Water fowling Heritage Center, a highend Gun Center, and indoor rifle and archer y ranges.
With a peak 323 feet above grade, the pyramid’s renovation
required an extraordinary level of design integration, team
collaboration and innovative thinking, but has become one of
the city ’s most visited tourist destinations.
