Scope Of Work
Climate Pledge Arena’s extensive redevelopment repositioned the 18,100-seat arena as the premier sports and entertainment destination in the Northwest. The redesigned interior features new clubs and social spaces, a new atrium and pedestrian plaza, and premium space offering views of the event floor, atrium and the iconic Space Needle. Its new design introduces modern elements and amenities while preserving the historic landmark’s charm.
The complex renovation was likened to "building a ship in a bottle,” as crews suspended the arena’s 44-million-pound roof over the project site to expand the footprint underground and rebuild the walls.
Zero Carbon Certified
Home of NHL's Seattle Kraken and WNBA's Seattle Storm, Climate Pledge Arena is the first International Living Future Institute Zero Carbon certified professional sports venue in the world. The certification requires 100% of the energy used to operate the building to be offset by new renewable energy. In addition, all embodied carbon emissions associated with the project’s construction and materials must be disclosed and offset. Zero Carbon Certification is the first worldwide program to independently verify claims about “net zero carbon” and “carbon neutral” buildings.
Climate Pledge Arena created lifelong opportunities for individuals that have been historically marginalized in our industry, demonstrating how construction can transform communities through economic empowerment.
