By GlobalDataThe design of the centre was inspired by a basketball passing through a net. The outer part of the building is made of a series of diamond-shaped metal panels.
These panels have multiple uses that can change according to the part of the building, which focuses on the fan experience by offering a variety of events.
AECOM’s design proposes a centre where technology and sport create a community to enhance the Inglewood community engagement. The project also follows energy conservation techniques to ensure it adheres to the requirements of California Energy Commission Net Zero.
AECOM also aspires to achieve the LEED Gold certification for energy optimisation.
It will be responsible for architecture, cost consulting, and air quality, mechanical, electrical and plumbing works and geotechnical services.
In May, the AECOM joint venture received a $107.4m design-build contract from the New York City Department of Design and Construction (DDC) to develop four new correctional facilities.
