CONSTRUCTING A ONEOFAKIND ARCHITECTURAL EXTERIOR SPHERE COLLAR

A dramatic, futuristic addition to the Las Vegas skyline, the MSG Sphere is located at The Venetian Resort and is powered by cutting edge technologies to host a wide variety of immersive events. The exterior features a record 580,000 square foot LED display and the interior has a 160,000 square foot LED screen, the size of three football ields, that surrounds the audience making it the largest and highest resolution LED screen on the planet. While setting a record as the largest structural sphere in the world, the MSG Sphere also set records within KHS&S. As the irst of its kind, the complexity of the exterior EFIS system was challenging to construct. Installation of 142 EFIS panels required exact prefabrication and placement in order to form the spherical shape. The domed structural steel has a self-supporting roof with no columns. KHS&S excelled in schedule management, safety and interior and exterior quality while resolving unexpected challenges to meet project demand in volume and labor.
