Panels clad in ETFE, PTFE and laminated PTFE provide protection from rain for the informal spaces while also allowing for fresh air flow and solar glare control. The orientation of the panels has been digitally optimized for their performance and form a dynamic, nature-inspired pattern that evokes growth and movement. Each of the primary levels of the interior program has access to the informal outdoor terraces and gardens that link the natural environment. These informal spaces enhance the guest experience, offering fans a respite from the excitement of games or concerts while fostering a connection to the natural environment.

These informal areas also provide a better work environment for the office staff who will be in the facility year-round. The spaces allow for work to be done in daylight and fresh air, and their arrangement encourages chance meetings among different departments. The informal spaces are programmed with landscape and furniture that make them attractive for all users of the facility. Intuit Dome is poised to become the first carbon-neutral arena, setting a new standard for sustainability in sports + entertainment design.

Equally important is its thoughtful connection to the surrounding neighborhood. The vibrant informal spaces and community-focused areas invite public engagement, making the building a lively presence in the community.
