AECOM

Hanway and Niemuth are leading the design of the Los Angeles Clippers’ new arena, which is scheduled to open in 2024. Hanway also is directing the team for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, for which the firm will provide design, engineering, construction strategy and other services. Niemuth, whose résumé includes work on the Sacramento Kings’ Golden 1 Center and renovations of Baylor Basketball Pavilion, Clemson’s Littlejohn Coliseum, Houston’s football complex and Fertitta Center and  Kansas State’s Bill Synder Family Stadium, said that AECOM is discerning about the projects it takes on. “We are very selective in the types of clients and projects we want to be involved in,” he said, “targeting those opportunities where personal relationship, innovation, and collaboration are valued.” — K.D.
