The upcoming Brisbane Games will deliver many new and upgraded venues across Queensland. The goal is not just to ensure they perform brilliantly during the Games, but also to ensure they remain vibrant, well-used community assets for the decades that follow.
Schuler Shook has been planning major venues for over four decades, from Jay Pritzker Pavilion by Frank Gehry to Queensland’s own HOTA Outdoor Stage. Our team combines this institutional experience with deep individual expertise. Our staff have designed broadcast systems for NFL stadiums, managed events at Melbourne & other major sporting Parks, and delivered lighting for some of the world’s most recognised public spaces.
