LOS ANGELES, CA — AECOM announces that it has been named the official venue infrastructure partner for the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games and Team USA. With an unprecedented scope that includes infrastructure architecture, engineering, planning, program management, and construction management services, AECOM will support the comprehensive delivery of the venue infrastructure program for the Games that will feature 50-plus 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 honored 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.

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.”
As a complex integrator of large-scale programs, AECOM will apply its broad expertise and capabilities to support the delivery of LA28’s temporary infrastructure program at Games venues. 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.
