Arup is at the leading edge of venue design worldwide.
We are skilled in the delivery – from inception to completion – of innovative sport projects. Our dedicated teams work with Arup’s full range of expertise to deliver clients a uniquely comprehensive sports venue consultancy.
As sporting venues have become more extensive and complex, with major venues typically designed for a range of configurations and non-event day uses, the range of skills required to design them successfully has increased. Our years of experience in sport buildings geometry and construction, mean we have the vision, imagination, knowledge, expertise, technology and resources to meet the most complex challenges that our clients throw at us.
Our work in buildings for sport ranges from the total multi-disciplinary design of arenas, stadia and swimming centres through to specific consultancy advice on the many aspects of sporting design. We create all-out projects from first principles and continually investigate new ways of improving efficiency, sustainability, quality and value for money for every building element from the largest, such as the structure and external skin, right down to the smallest detail.
We are proud to continue delivering award-winning spaces for the world's top sporting events – the Olympic Games, the Asian Games, the Commonwealth Games and the FIFA World Cup – as well as excellent venues for education and leisure clients.
