Autodesk software will support the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games’ $1 billion+ no-new-permanent-venues plan
Plans include retrofitting 40+ competition and major non-competition venues across Southern California, including the LA Memorial Coliseum,
Autodesk software and Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools will help to shorten timelines, cut costs, and incorporate sustainable design principles across the project.
Sustainability
“At Autodesk, we believe the most sustainable building is the one already built. That’s why we’re excited by LA28’s ambitious plan to retrofit existing structures to ensure sustainability is at the forefront of the LA28 Games venue plan,” said Amy Bunszel, executive vice president, Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Solutions at Autodesk.
“Over the next four years, our software will help set a new standard for creating a sporting event that intentionally designs, builds, repurposes, and reuses existing venues.”
Games-related transportation
LA28’s partnership with Autodesk will also support their collaboration with key public transportation agencies to keep LA residents, workers, businesses and more moving reliably throughout the region. LA28 will use Autodesk software to aid in the design of key Games-related transportation elements and traffic control plans.
“Autodesk’s software is a part of our LA28 story: the behind-the-scenes technology that brings our vision of the LA28 Games to life,” said Casey Wasserman, LA28 chairperson.
“Together, we will develop the right plan to support 12-15 million ticketed fans over such a short period of time. We are honored to have Autodesk on board for the next four years as we embark on our shared commitment in innovative design that can serve as a precedent for many Games to come.”
‘Design and make a better world’
“Autodesk’s technology is used every day to design and make a better world, which is why we’re thrilled to be LA28’s official Design and Make Platform,” said Andrew Anagnost, Autodesk President and CEO.
“Our partnership will enable Autodesk software to do more than ever before. Together with LA28, we will help prepare Los Angeles for not only a 29-day celebration but also strengthen the greater Los Angeles community by embarking on our shared vision of a more sustainable Games.”
