INTUIT DOME
City: Inglewood
Developer: Wilson Meany
GC: AECOM Hunt / Turner Joint Venture
Architect: AECOM
Agame-changer in sustainable arena design and community impact, Intuit Dome topples all categories in innovative sports architecture. Although a high level of innovation has informed the design of the internal aspects of the Intuit Dome program, its connection to the surrounding neighborhood was also critical, both socially and sustainably. The LA Clippers worked with the City of Inglewood on a far-reaching beneÿts package which incorporates funding for schools, housing, infrastructure and jobs into the commitment to develop an arena with positive community impact. Local Inglewood businesses are getting
their ÿrst opportunity to take part in a massive global project in their own backyard. Workforce development programs have given second chances to union workers with good pay and beneÿts. With these commitments also comes looking toward the future of infrastructure in Inglewood. The project set requirements and goals so that minority and local businesses participate in the project’s success through subcontracting. The team also built a strong partnership with the ACE (Architecture, Construction, Engineering) Mentor Program, and brought the ÿrst-ever pre-apprenticeship program to Inglewood Uniÿed School District. Prior to the construction of Intuit Dome and SoFi Stadium just to the north, the unemployment rate in Inglewood was around 17 percent. Now, as job creation in the area has increased, the unemployment rate has declined to around 4 percent.
