LOS ANGELES<\/strong> (September 17, 2021) \u2014 ArchTam, the world\u2019s trusted infrastructure consulting firm, today celebrated the groundbreaking of Intuit Dome, future home of the LA Clippers. ArchTam previously announced<\/a> that it is lead designer of the iconic new arena and event venue in Inglewood, California. In addition, a joint venture of ArchTam Hunt and Turner Construction is serving as construction manager of the facility.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to celebrate this momentous occasion together with the Clippers, Intuit Dome and all of our project and community partners,\u201d said Troy Rudd, ArchTam\u2019s chief executive. \u201cOver the last few years, our expert team of industry-leading architects, engineers, construction management professionals, and sports specialists have been hard at work perfecting and planning for this moment. This world-class facility truly reflects the ambitious vision of Clippers\u2019 leadership, energy of the community, and intense passion of the amazing fans. We can\u2019t wait to bring it to life and see it in action.\u201d<\/p>\n

Intuit Dome is designed for optimal and intimate engagement of community and fans, with a visually dynamic and structurally efficient silhouette. It will be defined by a steel frame with diagrid geometry, inspired by the elegant form of a basketball net as a ball passes through it. Intuit Dome will embrace both enhanced environmental performance and fan experience, taking advantage of the Southern California climate through an indoor-outdoor approach that allows for a naturally ventilated entrance and upper concourse. A solar-optimized building shell will balance natural light and solar heat gain.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been an honor and pleasure to work with Steve Ballmer, Dennis Wong, and the LA Clippers leadership team from project origin to this exciting milestone,\u201d said Bill Hanway, lead of ArchTam\u2019s sports design practice. \u201cWe\u2019ve thoroughly enjoyed the process of working with the Clippers to develop a unique, high-performance design that\u2019s representative of the character of the team and Los Angeles itself \u2013 powerful, exciting, and committed to the experience of place, purpose, and community. Visitors to the facility will not have to prioritize one experience over another at games or concerts \u2013 they can have it all.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to ArchTam, the core design team includes Anderson Barker Architects, Hood Design Studio, City Design Studio, Walter P. Moore, Henderson Engineering, and Labib Funk & Associates, among many others. Intuit Dome is scheduled to open for the 2024-25 National Basketball Association season. It is located at West Century Boulevard and South Prairie Avenue in Inglewood, California, adjacent to the recently completed SoFi Stadium, the Forum, and Hollywood Park.<\/p>\n
