Mott MacDonald Chosen for Australian Stadium Upgrade

Mott MacDonald has been chosen to execute the design and project management services for the A$450m (US$447m) upgrade of Adelaide Oval sports stadium in Australia.

The Government of South Australia and the Stadium Management Authority have commissioned Mott MacDonald to carry out upgrades to the 50,000-seat stadium.

The upgrade will include a new international standard indoor cricket centre, a plaza for hosting community events and functions, barbeque terraces at the new stands, and the addition of more than 2,000 dining spaces, hospitality suites, open boxes, bars and food courts.

The project is due for completion in 2014.
