Celebrating 25 Years of Buro Happold's Impact in UK Sports and Entertainment

Join us as we celebrate a quarter-century of Buro Happold's impactful contributions to the UK sports and entertainment sector.

In this video, Rob Amphlett, Partner and Global Sports & Entertainment Sector Lead at Buro Happold, reflects on how we have been at the forefront of engineering design on some of the UK's most iconic and innovative venues over the past 25 years. From state-of-the-art stadiums that host thrilling sporting events to cutting-edge entertainment complexes that bring joy to millions, our work has helped shape unforgettable experiences for fans and audiences alike.

Sports and entertainment infrastructure requires cutting-edge and thoughtful engineering design, especially when site boundaries are highly constrained. Football clubs, for example, face the challenge of improving facilities and creating additional space during redevelopment. How can they extend their footprint over site constraints such as roads, railways, and other permanent features? How do they create a greater sense of community? Additionally, how can they increase space for retail areas, ensure safe access for fans and pedestrians, and enhance the overall fan experience?

As we celebrate this incredible milestone, Rob also talks with Simon Fryer, Technical Director of Buro Happold’s Bridges team. They discuss the bridge engineering design pedigree that unlocks the complex, multi-faceted challenges of stadium projects on constrained sites.
