Levi’s Stadium
Home of the San Francisco 49ers
Levi’s Stadium
The Levi’s® Stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers, has an open design anchored with spacious entry plazas. Photovoltaic panels and a green roof are two of the sustainable design features. The fourteen-acre stadium features 68,500 seats with 9,000 luxury seats and the ability to expand to 75,000 seats for the Super Bowl. The steel structure is designed to resist seismic loads utilizing CoreBrace buckling restrained braces (BRBs) and is the first NFL stadium to use BRBs.
Integrated bridging design build (IBDB) coupled with BIM is the delivery model of choice for this project. The Owner, General Contractor, and design teams provided impeccable follow-through which allowed this project to have an aggressive, fast-track schedule. SME began fabrication in June and steel erection in July. Impressively, SME kept four cranes erecting continuously and was able to finish steel erection ahead of schedule.
