SoFi Stadium Achieves Well Health-Safety Rating
SoFi Stadium, the global sports and entertainment destination, announced today that it has earned the prestigious WELL Health-Safety Rating through the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI). This achievement makes SoFi Stadium the only active stadium to hold such a title, validating its commitment to the well-being of its staff, football teams, artists, guests, and partners. The WELL Health-Safety Rating is an evidence-based, third-party verified rating of the stadium’s health and safety protocols focused on operational policies, maintenance, stakeholder education, and emergency plans for resilience and response.
“The WELL Health-Safety Rating isn't just a certification for us; it's a testament to our core philosophy. We prioritize the well-being of everyone who enters SoFi Stadium, from our dedicated staff and partners, to athletes, artists, and guests,” said Otto Benedict, SVP of Facilities and Campus Operations, SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park. “ This rigorous, third-party verified rating reinforces our proactive commitment to operational excellence, robust maintenance protocols, and comprehensive emergency preparedness, ensuring SoFi Stadium continues to lead the industry as a world-class venue.”
SoFi Stadium effectively earned this achievement across multiple projects, including cleaning and sanitation procedures, emergency preparedness protocols, stakeholder and communication engagement, and innovation. Additionally, Hollywood Park is committed to staff and community wellness activities, such as Hollywood Park Moves, a series of free weekly classes presented by Cedars-Sinai.
“This tremendous accomplishment by SoFi Stadium & Hollywood Park underscores their commitment to people's health and safety,” said Rachel Hodgon, President & CEO, International WELL Building Institute (IWBI). “Their leadership in achieving the WELL Health-Safety Rating is critical to IWBI’s movement to build and sustain a healthier future for everyone. We're incredibly honored to partner with organizations like SoFi Stadium & Hollywood Park, who are dedicated to creating better buildings, more vibrant communities, and stronger organizations."
SoFi Stadium was awarded the WELL Health-Safety Rating following the successful completion of a third-party documentation review by GBCI to confirm it has met the feature-specific intents and requirements.
