The City of Seattle is making a major commitment to sustainability with the selection of a construction team to build the Climate Pledge Arena, a $150 million memorial stadium. The Climate Pledge Arena will be the first arena in the world to be built to the highest standards of sustainability, and will be home to the NHL’s Seattle Kraken.
The construction team, which includes Mortenson Construction, Oak View Group, and AECOM, was chosen for their commitment to sustainability and their ability to meet the city’s ambitious goals for the project. The team has pledged to use renewable energy sources, reduce emissions, and reduce waste during construction. They have also committed to using sustainable materials and practices throughout the construction process.
The Climate Pledge Arena will feature a variety of green initiatives, including a rainwater harvesting system, solar panels, and LED lighting. The arena will also feature an energy-efficient cooling system that will reduce energy costs and improve air quality. The arena will also have a green roof, which will help reduce heat gain and absorb stormwater runoff.
The construction team has also committed to using local labor and materials whenever possible. This commitment will help support local businesses and create jobs in the area. The team has also pledged to use recycled materials and to divert waste from landfills.
The Climate Pledge Arena is an exciting project that will set a new standard for sustainability in sports arenas. It is a major step forward for Seattle and for the NHL, and it is sure to be a source of pride for the city for years to come.
