KL SPORTS CITY WINS PRESTIGIOUS INTERNATIONAL AWARDS;

BUKIT JALIL NATIONAL STADIUM NAMED STADIUM OF THE YEAR

AT THE WORLD STADIUM CONGRESS AWARDS 2018.

Kuala Lumpur Sentral, 1 June 2018 – Malaysian Resources Corporation Berhad (MRCB) is proud to announce that its rejuvenation of the National Sports Complex has resulted in it clinching two coveted international awards. The newly named KL Sports City won the Exterior Lighting Design Award at the Asia Pacific Property Awards 2018-2019 held in Bangkok, while the Bukit Jalil National Stadium, which is located within KL Sports City, was named 2018 Stadium of The Year at the World Stadium Congress Awards in Amsterdam, beating three other finalists from France, namely U-Arena Stadium, Stade de France and New Bordeaux Stadium.

MRCB and Populous worked together as contractor and architect on the shared vision for the rejuvenation of the Bukit Jalil National Stadium, and wider KL Sports City. In redesigning the sports complex, which included four stadiums, focus was given on providing functional excellence of international standing by incorporating modern and innovative architecture with elements of sustainability. Its clever use of parametric technology for the façade lighting is a testament to the project’s success in combining state-of-the-art design and environmentally- friendly technology.

The project has received several significant accolades previously, such as the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) 5 Star SHASSIC Award and the Gold Award at the 13th MOSHPA Excellence Awards for OSHE Management in Engineering and Construction.

KL Sports City was also one of 15 projects shortlisted as a finalist out of 924 entries for the 2017 World Architecture Festival Awards in Berlin.
