AECOM has been named the official venue infrastructure partner for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

With a role that includes infrastructure architecture, engineering, planning, program management and construction management services, AECOM will support the delivery of the venue infrastructure program for the games that will feature more than 50 Olympic and Paralympic sports, 800-plus events and over 15,000 Olympic and Paralympic athletes.

“The Olympic and Paralympic Games unite the world through sport, and we are honoured to contribute our expertise to help bring LA28’s vision to life,” said Troy Rudd, AECOM’s chairman and chief executive officer.

“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.

“Building on AECOM’s legacy of delivering a better world, we are committed to championing the Olympic and Paralympic Movement and helping to build an unparalleled experience for spectators and participants at the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games.”

AECOM has a proven track record in iconic sports venue and infrastructure delivery, having contributed to the success of past global sporting events, including London in 2012, Rio in 2016 and Tokyo in 2021.

Working closely with LA28 and key stakeholders, AECOM will help deliver LA28’s venue infrastructure program, which relies on temporary venues and temporary overlays on existing permanent venues.

 “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 centre 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.”

AECOM’s role includes the architecture and engineering to deliver LA28 venues, as well as the program management of their delivery, and its AECOM Hunt business overseeing the procurement process, cost estimating, scheduling, and construction management of the required venue infrastructure.

The LA28 Games will mark Los Angeles’ third time hosting the Olympic Games, previously hosted in 1984 and 1932, and first time to host the Paralympic Games.
