MILWAUKEE – (Jan. 6, 2020) – Johnson Controls announced today a partnership with the Golden State Warriors and the implementation of building automation and security solutions throughout Chase Center, the new 18,064-seat privately financed sports and entertainment arena in San Francisco’s Mission Bay neighborhood. These integrations will contribute to making a more comfortable, secure, efficient and sustainable sports and entertainment venue experience for fans and staff.

Engaged at the earliest stage of the design process, Johnson Controls worked closely with the Warriors and their design and construction team to furnish, install and integrate smart building solutions throughout the new facility. These solutions include a Metasys building management system, integrated Security Command & Control Center, frictionless access control using facial recognition, video surveillance and intelligent turnstiles. Integration of technologies and building systems with one central management system allows more efficient control and monitoring of these systems through a single interface. Chase Center has also signed a professional service agreement with Johnson Controls to provide lifecycle services, including the maintenance and service of building management and security systems.

“Johnson Controls played a vital role in the design and construction of Chase Center,” said Rick Welts, Warriors president and chief operating officer. “Now that Chase Center is open, Johnson Controls, along with the rest of our incredible construction partners, will continue to ensure seamless operations during all of our events.”

“We are delighted to help deliver the world’s next iconic gathering place in the form of a connected, secure and sustainable entertainment complex,” said Lisa Roy, vice president of commercial sales, Building Solutions North America, Johnson Controls. “This was a complex project that required the integration of a variety of building technologies to create the one-of-a-kind arena experience the Warriors desired for their fans and staff. We look forward to an ongoing partnership with Chase Center and are excited to be a part of the continuing development of the entertainment district.”

In January of 2017, the Warriors announced that the new state-of-the-art sports and entertainment complex will be named “Chase Center,” as part of a 20-year naming rights partnership with Chase.

Now open to the public, Chase Center anchors Thrive City, which is made up of 11 acres of restaurants, cafes, offices, public plazas and other amenities the neighborhood currently lacks, along with a new five-and-a half-acre public waterfront park. Chase Center is located on a major Muni Metro rail line with easy links to BART and other transit options. It is the only privately-financed facility of its kind built on private property in the modern era.

Chase Center was built by Joint Venture partners Clark Construction Group and Mortenson Construction, combining an expertise in sports and entertainment construction with a long history of successful projects in San Francisco. Throughout construction, Mortenson | Clark worked closely with the city, OCII, and the community to keep local workers and businesses – and the community as a whole – at the forefront of the project.

The sports and entertainment venue was built on a vacant lot that had been slated for development since 1998. The team purchased the property at Third and 16th Street in 2014 and spent two years participating in an extensive public planning process. Chase Center is expected to host approximately 200 events each year, including Warriors basketball, concerts, cultural events, family shows and more.
