The Oklahoma State Fair is a spectacular 83,432 sq. ft. vinyl polyester fabric air supported structure roof that was erected over four 20-foot high concrete walls that surround the area.  With hundreds of exhibitors gathered under one roof, Oklahoma State Fair management was provided with a promotional advantage for attracting larger and wider audiences. 

The fabric is highly translucent, providing over 1000-foot candle of natural light within the structure during daytime hours.  The total roof structure is constructed with a dual wall system, which provides excellent thermal insulation without sacrificing the natural light penetration for allowing the facility to be used without the high energy cost for operating artificial lighting.

ASATI engineered this facility and manufactured it to provide an economically practical facility that meets local and state safety codes of Oklahoma.
