NorthLight.ClimatePledge USLT 836

Climate Pledge Arena, found at Seattle Center, is a complete redevelopment of an historic landmark, originally built for the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair. It is an industry first, including being the first net zero (no greenhouse gas emissions or offsets its emissions) certified arena in the world. It makes sense why artists, Laura Haddad and Tom Drugan, tasked with creating stunning environmental art at the arena chose to use GVA Lighting fixtures.
