Nokia Plaza

A Place to Gather

Since the beginning of civilization, great gathering places have been the heart and soul of a community.

Designed by Rios Clementi Hale Studio, the 40,000 sq.ft. open air plaza, capable of hosting special events, community gatherings, cultural festivals and live performances is centrally located in the heart of L.A. LIVE. Nokia Plaza contains over 20,000 square feet of LED signage including six 75' towers and a 22' x 40' LED billboard. The large, flexible plaza space includes state-of-the-art, "plug-and-play" technology to accommodate broadcast events, large celebrations, festivals, outdoor concerts and other live programming.

A key configuration - the ability to close 11th Street/Chick Hearn Court (which runs between Nokia Plaza and STAPLES Center) during non-peak hours - connects STAPLES Center with L.A. LIVE. This provides a pedestrian-friendly campus, as well as a prime location for red carpet arrivals for events taking place at any of the venues. Nokia Plaza is the premier location for outdoor events, flexible enough to transform from a daytime farmer's market to a locale for promotional activities supporting an evening concert.
