Brisbin Brook Beynon Architects / SCI Architects

Beynon and O’Reilly teamed up over the past few years to oversee more than $1.5 billion in modernizing some of the country’s busiest arenas: Madison Square Garden; TD Garden in Boston; The Forum in Inglewood, Calif.; Vivint Smart Home Arena in Salt Lake City; and the transformation of the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. Beynon co-founded the Toronto-based firm in 1984, and his expertise lies in introducing new revenue streams early in the design and planning process. O’Reilly joined him in 1988 and brings sustainable strategies to every project, from minimizing energy use to lobbying for projects to be located in downtown areas to maximize the use of a city’s existing infrastructure. In addition to helping clients navigate the COVID-19 landscape, they are in the planning stage with Mortenson on Arizona State’s new $120 million arena scheduled to open in 2022. — D.B.
