Moody Construction and H.J. Russell &#038; Company \u2013 for the state-of-the-art stadium, home of the National Football League\u2019s Atlanta Falcons and Major League Soccer\u2019s Atlanta United.    <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>As a multi-purpose venue, the stadium\u2019s flexible design allows for up to 83,000 seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A standout feature of the stadium is a one-of-a-kind retractable roof \u2013 which takes less than eight minutes to open \u2013 composed of eight 1,600-ton panels that each cantilever to resemble a camera shutter opening and closing. In addition, Mercedes-Benz Stadium houses a circular, 360-degree, \u201chalo\u201d video board that completely surrounds the top of the dome. The facility saves more than 40 percent in energy use compared to typical stadiums due to an extensive water capture and reuse system, over 4,000 solar photovoltaic panels, LED lighting, energy monitoring equipment and energy-efficient glazing. The stadium\u2019s design focuses on water conservation and management and is 42 percent more water efficient than the Georgia Dome. The facility captures rainwater for reuse in a cooling tower and in irrigation of the landscape and trees. In addition, solar panels, LED lighting, energy monitoring equipment and energy-efficient glazing saves more than 40 percent in energy use compared to typical stadiums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"aecom-custom-block block-facts\"\n    style=\"margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 40px\">\n\n            <h2>Project Highlights<\/h2>\n        <ul class=\"list-style-check\">\n                    <li>\n                                    First USGBC LEED Platinum professional sports stadium                            <\/li>\n            <\/ul>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":36389,"template":"","tags":[1091],"city":[12],"class_list":["post-20190","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-aecomhunt","city-atlanta"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.archtam.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/20190","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.archtam.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.archtam.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.archtam.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.archtam.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/20190\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32181,"href":"https:\/\/www.archtam.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/20190\/revisions\/32181"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.archtam.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36389"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.archtam.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20190"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.archtam.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20190"},{"taxonomy":"city","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.archtam.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/city?post=20190"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
