The $60 million, 175,000-sq ft ShoWare Center is a sports and events center complex to be used for amateur/minor league hockey, basketball, arena football, concerts, area graduations, etc. The Center is the new home for the Seattle Thunderbirds hockey team. The facility seats 6,000 for hockey and arena events, approximately 7,800 for concerts and shows, and has 20 premium suites and club seating. There are 850 stalls of on-site parking. Concessions and vending are provided in the facility, serviced by a main kitchen and four concession stands. The project is constructed to meet LEED Silver certification, and it will be the first LEED accredited event center. Some sustainable efforts include maintaining clean indoor air quality and the use of regional and recycled materials. Overall, Mortenson’s management of the recycling program resulted in the recycling of more than 90% of construction debris.
