Description

Climate Pledge Arena
Climate Pledge Arena is an 800,000-square-foot, mostly below-grade venue that will hold more than 17,000 fans for hockey, basketball, concerts, and other events. What makes this project stand out from other large renovations is the preservation of the historically landmarked, 44-million-pound roof structure and exterior curtain wall. The near-total demolition of the structure below the roof presented several complex challenges. Most notable among these was how to demolish the structure and excavate 680,000 cubic yards of soil to make way for construction of a new world-class below-grade arena, all while temporarily supporting the roof structure above it. Complicating matters further were the arena's location in a high seismic zone, the project's aggressive schedule, and the owner’s commitment to making it the first net-zero certified arena in the world.
