MACON, GA — Barton Malow, in association with Sheridan Construction, has been chosen as the construction manager for the new Macon Arena, a major project that will replace the current Macon Coliseum and serve as a key part of the region’s expanding entertainment opportunities.

Located southeast of Atlanta, Georgia, the planned facility is designed to host various multipurpose events like minor league hockey, basketball games, high school tournaments, concerts, conferences, trade shows, and more. The new arena will feature seating options like luxury suites, club suites, and loge boxes, as well as modern fan amenities such as clubs, concessions, restrooms, locker rooms, and integrated technologies. Back-of-house and support spaces will ensure the venue functions as a civic facility.

“This project is an investment in Macon-Bibb County’s future, and we’re excited to support the local community every step of the way,” Barton Malow Office Director Blake Boyd said.

“We believe this project will serve as a powerful economic and tourism engine, attracting visitors, creating opportunities, and enriching the lives of everyone in our community for generations to come,” Sheridan Construction President + CEO Christy Kovac added.

Construction is planned to commence in summer 2026, with the project anticipated to reach completion in 2028.
