Jump Studios’ desire to honour the past as you journey through the arena is apparent from the outset. Fans enter the stadium through an entrance inspired by Grand Central Station and Park Avenue Armory. As you step into the Grand Hall, visitors are greeted by a feature ceiling resembling the night sky, with a mottled paint finish and embedded LEDs.


Moving into the main concourse, Jump Studios pays tribute to Metro New York. An articulated colonnade runs throughout the arena echoing the arches of Central Park, whilst tile


designs inspired by the New York subway line the walls. The arena’s food offering includes 18 market-style concessions, based on the city’s kiosks that are a feature throughout Belmont Park. The upper concourse bars draw upon elements of Metro New York’s industrial heritage, as seen in the Brooklyn Bridge-inspired intricate cable work. Even the restrooms pay homage to the city, with the signage employing the familiar font of the iconic New Yorker Magazine. Jump Studios aims for UBS Arena to be more than a sports or music venue, but a


complete fan experience, employing a narrative as showcased in the practice’s work at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The main concourse corridor at the UBS Arena resembles a gallery where artwork, illuminated by spotlights, tells stories of the rich history of Belmont Park and the New York Islanders team, and colourful lighting modes create atmospheric thresholds as you walk through the space.


The scheme also seeks to celebrate historical figures. Harriet’s Bar honours Harriet
