Levi’s®Stadium...

Santa Clara’smost recent stunningachievement!The opening of Levi’s® Stadium in timefor the start of the NFL’s 2014 seasonlaunched a new chapter in the City ofSanta Clara’s history. The City’s previous163 years had already given its residentsand businesses many reasons to beproud of their community, from its significant role in California history to its rich agricultural heritage, innovativetechnology companies, and enviablequality of life.

Now, Levi’s® Stadium showcases themany assets of today’s community andprovides incredible opportunities forthe city of tomorrow.

Green Building fora Green City For decades the City of SantaClara has been an innovationleader in protecting and pre-serving the environment, re-ceiving national recognitionfor its energy and water con-servation programs. Giventhese values, it was importantfor the largest capital project inthe City’s history to representthe best in green building tech-niques—and Levi’s® Stadiummore than meets that goal.

Sustainable concepts were incorporated throughout thestadium’s design and construc-tion, making it the first U.S.professional football stadiumto achieve LEED Gold certifi-cation as new construction.Special environmental designfeatures include: • 85% of the water used

throughout the stadium (toi-lets, irrigation, coolingtower) is recycled. Levi’s®Stadium is the first dualplumbed sports stadium inCalifornia.

• A 27,000-square-foot “greenroof ” on the Suite Tower isplanted with native flora.

• 75% of the stadium’s con-struction materials were re-

cycled. 100% of the wood usedto construct the East suiteswas reclaimed from an air-plane hangar at nearby Moun-tain View’s Moffett Field.

• LED bulbs are used in 40% ofthe stadium lighting. (LEDscannot be used for the onfield lights due to theirpropensity for altering thecolor of players’ uniforms onTV broadcasts.)

• Solar panels on the westernroof of the stadium and threepedestrian bridges generate375 kilowatts of electricity,about the same as 100 resi-dential rooftop systems.

ConstructionMilestonesStadium construction was anamazing feat of design, engi-neering and perseverance.

A pivotal moment in the sta-dium’s history occurred in Sep-tember of 2011. After intensediscussions and more than afew sleepless nights, the sta-dium’s contractors developedan ambitious plan to carve afull year off the initial con-struction schedule so the sta-dium could open for the 2014football season rather than

waiting until 2015. The de-manding new time line was asfollows.• Make Ready: January-De-cember, 2012. A major pub-lic works project cleared allpre-existing undergroundutilities from the footprint ofthe new stadium.

• Getting Started: April,2012.A celebratory formalgroundbreaking ceremonywas then followed by 26months of all-out construc-tion activity performed by ateam of 1,200 daily workers.

• Deep Foundation: May,2012. A total of 3,080 sup-port pilings were installed injust 30 days. If laid end toend, they would stretch allthe way from Levi’s® Stadiumto Candlestick Park!

• Steelwork Rises: August,2012 – January, 2013.Erection of the stadium’ssteel beam superstructurebegan. Four separate crewswith cranes worked simulta-neously in different quad-rants of the stadium, puttingin place approximately 200beams a day until all 14,000were completed in recordtime, secured by 127,000 bolts.

• 1,850,000 square feet in size—twice thesize of Candlestick park, the San fran-cisco 49ers’ previous home.

• 69,900 seats, including 45,000 on thelower level, 18,000 on the upper leveland 176 luxury suites. The closest seatsto the playing field let fans view the ac-tion from just 10 feet away!

• Two colossal hD video scoreboards, each48 feet tall and 200 feet wide, are the

largest of their kind in outdoor arenas.

• The NfL’s first automatic, collapsible fieldgoal posts increase safety and ease oftransition for non-football events.

• As expected for a facility in high-techfriendly Silicon valley, the stadium’samenities include full access to Wifi, mo-bile connectivity, and approximately2,000 IpTv monitors.

Levi’s® Stadium features at a glance—why it’s the best in the U.S.

4 GUIDE TO SANTA CLARALEVI’S STADIUM

• Stadium Named: May,2013.Levi Strauss Co. wasannounced as the namingrights sponsor of the stadiumin a $220 million, 20-yearagreement, with sponsorshipfunds contributing to thecost of building and operat-ing the stadium.

• Energy Efficient: October,2013. Phase one of the solarinstallation was completed asLevi’s® Stadium became thefirst NFL Stadium to openwith a LEED Gold certifica-tion. At their peak, the solararrays generate enough en-ergy annually to offset thepower consumed at the sta-dium during regular seasonhome football games.

• Bridge Installation: Decem-ber, 2013. Three pedestrianbridges weighing 134,000pounds each were put intoplace over San Tomas Creek ,giving fans convenient accessto the stadium from west sideparking lots.

• Green Field: April, 2014.The playing field’s BermudaBandera grass sod arrivedand was laid in place.Bermuda Bandera is shade

tolerant and known for re-bounding quickly from wear.The roots for the playingfield’s grass were firstplanted in Merced County inthe fall of 2012 and moni-tored closely for 18 monthsbefore being installed in thestadium’s field.

• It’s Done! July, 2014. Allconstruction was completed.

New Community Gathering Spot Levi’s Stadium has already be-come a place for residents toconnect with friends and showoff to visitors. Except for abrief period immediately lead-ing up Super Bowl 50, the mainentry plaza at the northwestcorner of the stadium on Tas-man Drive is open to the publicand provides access to the SanFrancisco 49ers Museum pre-sented by SONY, the 49ersTeam Store and MichaelMina’s Bourbon Steak & Pub.

The 49ers Museum showcasesteam history with interactivegalleries and historic artifacts.

The City of Santa Clara haslong been a community onthe leading edge of innova-tion and progress. Now, as it grows into a world-recognized city of stature,a great effort is being madeto retain the character thathas always made it such aspecial place to live, workand visit while at the sametime taking advantage of thetremendous opportunitiesthat will define its future.As part of this transition, theCity of Santa Clara devel-oped a new brand to reflectboth the community thatexists today and the onethat will exist tomorrow.

The purpose of a “brand” is todefine the values, prioritiesand characteristics of an entity,conveying its attributes andpersonality with a clarity thathelps differentiate that entityfrom all others. Santa Clara’schallenge was to develop abrand that would showcase

the outstanding quality of lifeenjoyed by its residents, recog-nize Santa Clara as a fun desti-nation for tourists, distinguishthe city from others in the re-gion, and appeal to businessesinterested in investing in SantaClara’s future. The process began in 2014 withthe appointment of a MarketingCommittee composed of Coun-cil members, other City staff andcommunity stakeholders. Theirambitious goal was to bringinto being a brand architectureencompassing an updated Cityseal, a dynamic tagline, a newcolor palette and design guide-lines for all City communica-tions so that Santa Clara couldconvey a clear, cohesive andconsistent message to residents,businesses and visitors.

Santa Clara’s New BrandReflects Its Unique Characteristics After exhaustive research aconsulting agency, Red Peak,was selected from more than adozen firms specializing inbranding. The Marketing

26GUIDE TO SANTA CLARANEW BRAND IDENTITY

Santa Clara’snewbrand identitysymbolizes thecity’s rich pastand bright future

Committee worked closelywith Red Peak to define theCity’s best attributes and mostdistinctive characteristics. The process identified severaltagline options, with “The Cen-ter of What’s Possible” selectedafter consistently rating higherthan the others. This taglinereflects the City’s central loca-tion in Silicon Valley as well asthe aspirational feelings thathave drawn pioneers, inventors,entrepreneurs and immigrantsto Santa Clara for decades. Twelve icons have been createdhighlighting key attractions,

activities, institutions and thebenefits of living, working andvisiting the City of Santa Clara.These include the state-of-the-art Levi’s Stadium®, the city’saward-winning library, the convention center, educationalinstitutions, hundreds of acresof public parks, an advancedpublic transit system, and focuson renewable energy sources.

The New Color PaletteHelps Tell The StoryThe outline of the City’s borders is a primary graphic element in the new brand identity, reminding viewersthat Santa Clara is the vibrantheart of Silicon Valley action. A key component of the City’snew brand is the distinctivecolor palette to be used for pub-lications, signage, ads, andother marketing materials. Likeall other aspects of the brand,color selection was carefullyconsidered to reflect SantaClara’s singular attributes. The color terracotta was cho-sen the brand’s primary colorbecause it represents the adobeand stucco walls and tile roofsof the city’s earliest buildings.

Blue and green were selectedas accent colors because theyreflect those painted on thewalls of Mission Santa Claraand other historic buildings. In addition to this definedcolor palette, the brand in-cludes two specific typo-graphic fonts: “Sentinel,”whose traditional appearancerepresents the City’s history,and “Graphik,” which is moreforward-looking to representthe City’s future. Effective brands are those thatring true, making a promisethat the brand entity can deliver. For example, RollsRoyce represents enduring luxury. Disney is always family-friendly. Ocean Spray is allabout cranberries. The City of Santa Clara’s brandaccomplishes this by incorpo-rating the unique culture andheritage that has defined theCity for generations. The inspi-rational and ambitious promiseof its tagline—“The Center ofWhat’s Possible”—is realisticshorthand for the tremendouspotential that lies in SantaClara’s future and that of thepeople who choose to live, workand visit here.

At the center of everything Silicon

Valley has to offer, the City of Santa Clara is poised for greatness.SANTA CLARA UNIVERSITY

A healthy business environmentdepends on a number of factors,including a robust local econ-omy, innovative governance,high quality of life, and readyaccess to materials and a skilledworkforce. Effective servicesare also part of the equation,and perhaps no service com-modity is more pervasive andimportant than electricity.

Silicon Valley Power (SVP) isthe community-owned not-for-profit municipal electricutility in Santa Clara. SVP hasearned a reputation for over100 years of operation as one ofthe nation’s most reliable elec-tricity providers while main-taining the lowest rates inCalifornia. Low prices, qualitypower and customer serviceprompt commercial and resi-dential customers of SVP toscore the utility remarkablyhigh in independent surveys.

Electric rates 16 to 43 percentlower than those in nearbycities save SVP customers over$100 million annually com-pared to what they would payin neighboring communities.

Large international companiesjoin numerous small- to mid-size businesses in profitingfrom high-quality low-cost

power in Santa Clara. Thecommunity also supportsSVP’s ongoing efforts to utilizegreen or low-impact generat-ing sources for its power port-folio, which is over 50 percentcarbon free.

“Our responsibility is to pro-vide residents and businesses

with affordable and reliableelectricity,” said Larry Owens,SVP’s manager of customerservices. “Even a minor hiccupin our service can prove expen-sive for businesses and incon-venient for our residents, so wemaintain and continually up-grade our local power grid in-frastructure with that in mind.”
