The Pittsburgh Penguins (NHL) and architect HOK Sport are seeking gold LEED certification for the team's new downtown arena. If awarded, the Pittsburgh Penguins' new arena would be the first sporting facility in the United States to achieve a gold certification.
There have been several sports facilities receiving LEED certification, but these have all received silver certification. Gold is the next level up; platinum is the top level.
The new 18,087-seat Pens arena is slated to open in the 2010-2011 season. |

An exterior lighting project with a specialty, energy-saving LED lighting system, has been installed to illuminate the TD Banknorth Garden at night. The project brings an new live lighting element to the Garden with a myriad of lighting capabilities to signify the events within the building. When the Boston Bruins are playing at home, the building will bask in a gold glow; for the Boston Celtics, a leprechaun green; the Boston Blazers, a fiery red; concerts will shimmer in a rainbow of tie-dye; and special events radiate a blue hue. To celebrate a home team win, the building has the ability to do the 'wave' through a special lighting effect, signifying the victory within the city skyline.
