Prominent architectural design firm 360 Architecture is to be acquired by fellow practice HOK, with the US-based group looking to expand its footprint in the sports sector. Founded in Kansas City, US, 360 Architecture is known for its award-winning designs of stadiums, ballparks, arenas, recreation and wellness centres, plus mixed-use entertainment districts.
The firm has also won competitions to design corporate facilities, commercial office spaces and government-led projects.
“As a global design leader, it’s important for HOK to offer clients design excellence in sports architecture,” said Patrick MacLeamy, FAIA, HOK chairman and CEO.
“360 Architecture has created several of the world’s most innovative professional and collegiate sports facilities and their design-focused culture and values align with ours.
“Together, we will design the next generation of sports and entertainment facilities while serving all types of clients as one of Kansas City’s largest design firms.”
360 has been at the helm of some progressive designs of late, having been awarded the design contract for two 30,000-seat soccer stadiums in Iraq.
Elsewhere, the firm has been involved in plans for a new training facility for NBA side the Philadelphia 76ers, while its designs for mixed-use NHL centre Rogers Place have turned heads in the architectural industry.
