Sports & Recreation
Enhancing memorable experiences
Stadiums can be at the centre of our communities, bringing fun, teamwork, community spirit, and purpose. They¡¯re where memories of watching your favourite sporting team play or global artist entertain are made.?
Whether it¡¯s the high school footy field or an impressive cricket pitch¡ªfrom recreational play through to professional sporting leagues¡ªour Sports and Recreation team plan and design all sides of stadium and field projects at every scale.?
Sporting games can build community spirit, improve health and wellbeing, and simply entertain. The buildings in which we watch, play, and practice should intensify this experience¡ªigniting passion, expanding opportunity, and growing character. In any sport and event, teamwork is important, which is why we form teams of engineers and designers who collaborate with clients and contractors to deliver great facilities for all.
