Case Study: Kia Forum and Working Against the Clock
With time running out, a large Los Angeles venue needs attention to its roof; commercial contractor Centimark and products manufacturer GAF made the job happen
The Kia Forum, located in the Los Angeles suburb of Inglewood, Calif., is now the only arena-sized venue in the country dedicated to music and entertainment. The iconic venue, past home to the NBA’s Lakers and the NHL’s Kings, was operating under a solid deadline requiring the facility to remove its existing rooftop logo by spring 2022.
Circumstances, including supply chain shortages, created a less-than-ideal situation to meet the tight deadline. Time constraints and lack of available materials meant the 135,000 sq. ft. roof was too large to undergo a complete PVC reroof in order to remove the logo.
