Icahn Stadium, USA
RMJM's design for Icahn Stadium in New York transforms the southwest quadrant of Randall's Island into "an accessible, well-organised, and increasingly self-sustaining sports and recreation centre for the children and families of New York City."
The project involved the design of a first-class track and field centre to meet IAFF Competition Category 3 requirements and accommodate Olympic trial meets. Icahn Stadium features covered seating for 5,000, support facilities for participants and spectators, and an additional 5,000 open bleacher seats. The design establishes a strong signature identity with two 50 metre high light towers that light the track and field at night. The two towers are located at opposite ends of the stadium supporting a slim-profiled, slightly inclined, flat roof that appears to hover dramatically above the stadium seating.
