Education City Stadium by Fenwick Iribarren Architects
The Education City Stadium is surrounded by academic facilities and sports organizations and is located in a vibrant center of knowledge and innovation. Because of its unique location in Education City, the structure has been meticulously designed with a strong emphasis on accessibility.
Excavators discovered rocks dating back 20-30 million years during construction, forcing them to dig 17 meters deeper so the pitch could sit below sea level, where temperatures are cooler.
