The Golden 1 Center, the new home arena of the Sacramento Kings, became the first indoor venue in the world to be certified as LEED Platinum—the highest level of recognition for environmentally conscious buildings.
The Golden 1 Center earned the highest score for a sports venue in the LEED program, according AECOM, which designed the arena. It placed in the top three percent of all buildings certified.
“Our hope in creating Golden 1 Center was to help drive meaningful change in our community—which includes working to curb climate change and promote renewable energy,” Kings owner Vivek Ranadivé said in a statement.
