The original 44-million-pound roof from the previous KeyArena was reused in the construction-to significantly reduce the embodied carbon of the building. The stadium will use reclaimed rainwater stored in the ice system, a concept called “Rain to Rink,” to create the greenest ice in the NHL. The all-electric operations will be powered by 100% renewable electricity-from on-site solar panels and off-site renewable energy. With a significant investment from Amazon and Oak View Group, Climate Pledge Arena is expected to be the first net-zero carbon certified arena in the world and set a new sustainability bar for the sports and events industry. The 44 million pound roof was held up by temporary steel columns while the brand new arena was constructed underneath, doubling the square footage. Over the past three years, designed by Populous and Rockwell Group and under the guidance of Mortenson, engineering and construction firsts have been achieved. The project began in early 2017, when the City of Seattle issued a request for proposal to redevelop the historic arena at Seattle Center and entered into an agreement with Oak View Group. Redevelopment of the Arena complex is financed and paid for privately, solely by OVG and its partners, through a development and lease contract with the City of Seattle.Ĭlick here to email general construction inquiries.Building a net-zero carbon certified stadium The work includes interior demolition, shoring and excavation to support lowering of the event level, improved viewing experiences, loading dock improvements, an access tunnel, landscape improvements and a parking garage.įor the most up-to-date construction information, please visit the Climate Pledge Arena website.
