How could stadia become the new heart of their community beyond game day? That was the question put to our guests in this episode…
With the weekend on the horizon, it’s the perfect time to ‘kick back’ and listen to our sportiest episode yet of ‘Sandbox’.
Stadia are more than just venues for sport - they’re economic and cultural powerhouses that bring people together. But what happens when the final whistle blows? And how can their full potential be unlocked for local communities all year round?
This week’s ‘Sandbox’ FOMO5 dives into ways to re-imagine stadium spaces - from hosting concerts and school events to transforming underused areas into vibrant community hubs.
Joining our regular host Andy Duncan in this episode, were Buro Happold experts Rob Amphlett, Partner, Colin Byrne, Partner and Paul Eddleston, Senior Design Manager.
