WSP's work with modern arenas and stadia
Modern arenas are multifunctional buildings containing numerous different activities: sport takes place on a daily basis, but there are also other events of varying nature, including competitions, fairs and concerts.
Concept, logistics and a unique design are the most important ingredients for a successful sports and leisure centre. The early stages of analysis consist in creating the conceptual content in which logistics, functions and experience are called upon to determine the precise location and design of the building.
- Analysis and understanding of the specific features of each project.
- Cooperation with our specialists and partners from an early stage
- A flexible process following the project through all stages from inception to management and administration.
- The collective experience and skills offered by WSP
Our key to success is the manner in which we incorporate a carefully planned concept within a functional and beautiful building. WSP has a particular approach that involves working very closely with architect and concept developer so as to create together the optimal stadium design. Sports and leisure centres always form part of a larger entity and have an impact on the development of the surrounding areas.
- Logistics and traffic
- Development and regeneration of other areas
- Awareness of its effects on a local, regional and national level
- Contextual understanding
The impact, consequences and future scenario are all laid out on a master plan. Together with our partners and other specialists within WSP, we are able to offer complete solutions including concept, design and layout development options, operational conditions, sound investment and financial viability. Our skills are fully exploited in all areas of the project, with refinements and improvements being made throughout in order to produce a finished stadium that more than satisfies our customer’s requirements.
