To make this happen, sustainability had to be the starting point for every design decision. The end result looks like this:
- Driving towards 100% carbon neutrality by 2024
- Low-flow plumbing that uses 40% less water than similar sized buildings
- 100% LED lighting with motion sensors
ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Arena will also help all its guests to cut down their environmental impact:
- All paper products are 100% compostable
- Plans to install 1,000 charging stations for electric vehicles
- Designated pick-up and drop-off areas for ride-share
- Two LIRR stations and MTA bus stop
- Fully electric on-site shuttles to move guests from parking and trains to the arena
Our concessionaire, Delaware North, will donate all left over food to local food banks
