The Los Angeles 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games are set to showcase a fusion of world-class athleticism and cutting-edge infrastructure, thanks to a strategic partnership with AECOM. As the Official Venue Infrastructure Partner, AECOM will play a major role in bringing the vision of the LA28 Games to life.
AECOM is a global infrastructure consulting firm renowned for its comprehensive services in architecture, engineering, planning, and construction management. Since 1980, its impressive portfolio has included over 90 stadiums and arenas, including 16 NFL and 18 MLB stadium projects. Notable examples are the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, celebrated for its innovative retractable roof and circular “halo” video board, and the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, the new home of the LA Clippers, which opened in August 2024.
For the LA28 Games, AECOM’s responsibilities encompass a broad list of services, including:
- Architecture and engineering: Designing and structuring temporary and permanent venues to meet the diverse needs of over 15,000 Olympic and Paralympic athletes across 50+ sports and 800+ events.
- Program and construction management: Overseeing the planning, scheduling, and execution of construction projects to ensure the timely and efficient delivery of venues.
A standout feature of LA28’s approach is the emphasis on leveraging existing venues and integrating temporary structures. This strategy will enhance the athlete and spectator experience while promoting sustainability, a core value of LA28 and AECOM.
“Powered by our vision of uplifting LA’s state-of-the-art venues, our partnership with AECOM will deliver cutting-edge temporary infrastructure, creating sports experiences unlike the world has ever seen,” said Casey Wasserman, LA28 chairperson and president. “Los Angeles is a thriving center of innovation and culture. We’re excited to team up with AECOM to showcase the best of this dynamic city and drive progress within the Olympic and Paralympic Movement.”
The LA28 Games are scheduled to take place in the summer of 2028. This will mark Los Angeles’s third time hosting the Olympics and its inaugural hosting of the Paralympic Games. With AECOM’s proven track record and commitment to excellence, the city is poised to deliver an unforgettable experience for athletes and fans alike.
