Autodesk’s platform is crucial to LA28’s commitment to using no new permanent venues, adapting existing structures, and building temporary infrastructure. Andrew Anagnost, Autodesk President and CEO, stated, “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. 

"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."

The plan involves retrofitting over 40 venues, including the LA Memorial Coliseum. Autodesk’s software will be pivotal in reducing timelines, cutting costs, and integrating sustainable design throughout the project. “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.”

LA28 will utilise Autodesk's technology, including Autodesk Construction Cloud and Building Information Modelling (BIM) tools, to enhance collaboration with stakeholders and meet delivery and sustainability goals. “At Autodesk, we believe the most sustainable building is the one already built," stated Amy Bunszel, Executive Vice President.

"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. Over the next four years, our technology will help set a new standard for creating a sporting event that intentionally designs, builds, repurposes, and reuses existing venues.”

Beyond venue construction, the partnership aims to positively impact Los Angeles communities. Autodesk’s expertise will support sustainable, low-carbon design, retrofitting existing buildings to reduce carbon emissions. Additionally, LA28’s partnership with Autodesk will enhance collaboration with public transportation agencies in LA, ensuring efficient and sustainable event logistics.

Through this partnership, Autodesk and LA28 aim to redefine large-scale event planning, design, and execution, with a strong emphasis on sustainability and community impact.
