This Will Be the World’s First Carbon-Neutral Sports Complex

Architizer Editors Architizer Editors

Located in Inglewood, California and projected to be completed in 2024, the new Intuit Dome arena complex by AECOM has been committed to carbon neutrality from day one – a first for arenas globally.

The Intuit Dome will be naturally ventilated, fully electric through batteries and solar power with enough on-site energy storage to power a basketball game or concert, and have no net new greenhouse gas emissions. It will feature a comprehensive waste reduction program to eradicate landfill waste onsite and extensive programs to improve regional air quality. The sport complex has committed to the annual monitoring of greenhouse gas emissions and transportation impacts – also a first for a large-scale venue – which will ensure that sustainability goals and promises are met, and also provide the data to help drive broader community transformation to a low carbon future.
