Aecom has been named as the Official Venue Infrastructure Partner for the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games and Team USA.
Calling the scope of works “unprecedented”, the company said work involves architecture, engineering, planning, programme management, and construction management to deliver the venue infrastructure for more than 50 Olympic and Paralympic sports, 800 events, and 15,000 Olympic and Paralympic athletes.
Aecom chair and chief executive Troy Rudd said: “Just as athletes push the boundaries of performance in pursuit of excellence, our team brings deep technical expertise and relentless innovation to deliver world-class infrastructure that makes these moments possible.”
Aecom previously helped build venues for the Games at London in 2012, Rio in 2016, and Tokyo in 2021.
Concerned about a legacy of white elephants, the LA28 organising committee last year pledged to hold the first modern Olympics without building any permanent new venues. Instead, it will use existing venues like the Lakers’ home arena and the LA Memorial Coliseum.
LA28 chair and president Casey Wasserman said the strategy would be “uplifting LA’s state-of-the-art venues”.
Aecom said its Aecom Hunt business would oversee procurement, cost estimating, scheduling, and construction management.
