With the 2026 FIFA World Cup underway, Mercedes-Benz Stadium is stepping onto the global stage. Designed to redefine performance, experience and operations at scale, the Atlanta venue brings together innovation and precision engineering. Buro Happold partnered with HOK to help deliver that ambition, leading structural engineering, facade engineering, lighting and sustainability across a project defined by complexity and integration. The result is a nearly 2 million ft2 venue that has become a benchmark for both performance and experience, and the first LEED Platinum professional sports stadium in the United States. As Atlanta hosts a total of eight FIFA World Cup matches, the stadium demonstrates the impact of embedding engineering into the design vision from the outset.
