The renovation will add a total of 153,000 square feet to the complex, which will include a new civic entry space aimed at connecting to the city by maximizing transparency. Behind the curtain wall, the carapace of the arena will be clad in a undulating panel system that pulls up to invite visitors into seating areas.

The renovation will also consist of a range of new dining, bar and event areas within ?activated new neighborhoods? to enrich the visitor experience. Public areas and former bottlenecks will be opened up to improve circulation through the complex and make navigation more intuitive.
