The Prudential Center  -  Newark, New Jersey  -  Jess Walker at Morris Adjmi Architects

Completed in 2008 in Newark, New Jersey as the Devil’s Hockey Team’s home arena.  This building, paid for by the City of Newark and the Devil’s ownership, was built in downtown Newark during a time of great urban unrest.  A hybrid cast concrete and steel structure was clad in prefabricated brick and metal panels with glass curtainwall infill.  This project is widely considered responsible for the rejuvenation of central Newark linking the suburbs to a centralized arena accessible by public transportation.
