AECOM Hunt served as CM for this 767,810 SF arena and entertainment venue, adjacent to the famed Belmont Park Racetrack.
The new home of the NHL’s New York Islanders, the arena is a premier entertainment destination for Long Island, hosting major concert events, as well as boxing, professional wrestling, basketball tournaments and rodeos. The arena features 17,113 seats for hockey and 18,853 seats for concerts, customizable suites on two different levels and five separate bar/club areas, with the Spotlight Club providing visuals of the players leaving the locker room heading to the ice.
The project featured a uniquely tailored MWBE program, which committed to New York State’s nation-leading goal of 30% MWBE and 6% SDVOB contracts.
