Together, they'll be sharing insights from one of the most innovative projects in sports architecture today: CPKC Stadium, the first purpose-built LEED-certified venue for women's sports.
A Blueprint for Sustainable, Inclusive Design
The presentation, "Breaking Ground, Breaking Barriers: The First LEED Certified Women's Sports Stadium," will take attendees through the remarkable journey of creating a facility that stands as both an environmental model and a powerful catalyst for women's sports.
The case study will explore the project's evolution across three critical phases:
Preconstruction: Tackling urban development challenges through transit accessibility and space optimization
Construction: Implementing sustainable building practices and materials
Operations: Achieving excellence in waste reduction and sustainable management
Where Sustainability Meets Inclusivity

Implemented inclusive design principles and wellness-focused features throughout the facility
Developed effective community engagement and social impact strategies
Assembled women-led teams across ownership, design, and construction phases
A Model for the Future
This presentation offers valuable insights for owners, designers, facility managers, and sustainability professionals looking to create spaces that honor both environmental responsibility and social equity. Attendees will learn practical strategies for transforming challenges into opportunities that benefit both people and planet.
