The design of the Barclays Center achieves a striking balance between iconic form and performance. A major component of the arena’s design is its intricate pre-weathered steel and glass enclosure. To execute this design, SHoP Construction was engaged by the facade contractor, ASI Limited, to ensure the architectural gesture of the pre-weathered steel ‘latticework’ was accurately reproduced in the built form. Through implementation of an integrated direct-to-fabrication process, SHoP Construction facilitates the manufacturing, assembly and sequenced delivery of 900 unitized mega-panels containing 12,000 uniquely sized pre-weathered steel latticework panels. SHoP Construction has also provided a 4D construction sequencing model of the structural steel and facade, which enables the project team to make informed decisions in real-time.
