New office space prioritizes community engagement with the launch of a lecture series for STEAM students and additional initiatives.

CHICAGO (July 18, 2024) — AECOM, the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting firm, today announced it has signed a 23,000 square-foot full-floor lease at One Prudential Plaza (Pru Plaza) to consolidate its Chicago-area offices. The move, which will take place in December 2024, brings 432 employees to one location for improved collaboration and access to the latest technology and amenities.

“Our Chicago team has delivered some of the city’s most vital and iconic infrastructure projects and this investment solidifies our commitment to the region,” said Matt Crane, regional chief executive of AECOM’s U.S. West business. “Pru Plaza will provide the infrastructure to build on our current momentum and enable us to hire additional talent to build the Chicago office’s legacy as the city continues to evolve.”

Designed to embrace AECOM’s Freedom to Grow philosophy, emphasis was placed on creating an adaptable office space that could shift over time while also providing a variety of settings to accommodate evolving work styles and better user choice. For example, the new space can be easily transformed from work hubs to social meeting spaces, to after-hours event hosting, all in support of creating meaningful and engaging experiences for both interfacing with clients and the larger community. Previously, AECOM’s Chicago office hosted the annual Disadvantaged Business Enterprise outreach program and ACE Mentor Program events. In the new office space, it plans to expand its community involvement with a new lecture series for STEAM students looking to get an inside look at working in the AEC space.

“The workplace of the future is one that inspires employees and aids collaboration,” said Denise Casalino, executive vice president and chief growth officer for AECOM’s U.S. West region. “Our new home in Pru Plaza is a prime example, providing an opportunity to bring together all of our capabilities to better serve our clients and engage with the community in a meaningful way.”

In Chicago, AECOM supports various professional and community engagement organizations, including Professional Women in Construction, American Council of Engineering Companies, The American Institute of Architects, Hispanic American Construction Industry Association and many others. The Company has also been involved in several high-profile projects in the region, including reconstruction of the I55/Lake Shore Drive Interchange, 31^st Street Harbor, 41^st and 43^rd Street Pedestrian Bridges and Midway Airport. It is currently working on the O’Hare 21 initiative, the most significant expansion in the airport’s history.

At the frontier of the built environment and programme management, AECOM and UCL are united by a common purpose of delivering a better world and providing sustainable legacies for future generations.

London (June 26, 2023) — AECOM, the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting firm, today announced an innovative philanthropic partnership with University College London (UCL) to address the most urgent and complex societal challenges through programme management.

The partnership launches the AECOM Infrastructure Scholarship Programme, supporting the next generation of infrastructure researchers through PhD scholarships. The scholarships will advance the science in topics related to infrastructure and programme management to deliver complex infrastructure solutions more sustainably, unlock value, and transform societies around the world.

“It is a privilege to partner with UCL and embark on this scholarship programme which will have an impact on the future of infrastructure programmes,” said Drew Jeter, chief executive of AECOM’s Program Management global business line. “What excites me about this opportunity is to truly make a significant and positive difference in how the next generation will approach and deliver programmes with an evidence based, solution-oriented, outcome driven and sustainable mindset. AECOM and UCL have a shared vision and commitment and I can’t wait to begin this journey with such a great partner.”

AECOM’s Programme Management global business provides the structure, tools, techniques, and process to achieve the Company’s purpose of delivering a better world. By connecting its technical expertise across services, markets, and geographies, it manages outcome-driven programmes that deliver social, economic, and environmental value.

The researchers will be based at The UCL Megaproject Delivery Centre in The Bartlett School of Sustainable Construction, and will leverage UCL’s extensive research capabilities as one of the world’s top universities. Under the direction of Dr Juliano Denicol, The UCL Megaproject Delivery Centre develops research to change the delivery of major infrastructure projects, not only advancing strategies and metrics to improve project performance, but also emphasising the societal benefits of infrastructure development. The researchers will work closely with AECOM’s Programme Management leadership to disseminate cutting-edge scientific findings and improve the delivery of major infrastructure programmes globally.

“AECOM and UCL are writing history with this partnership to advance the science in Programme Management,” said Dr. Juliano Denicol, Director, Megaproject Delivery Centre. “It will support a diverse cohort of future leaders and create a platform to address global societal challenges through infrastructure delivery. I’m absolutely thrilled with this effort to transform our industry through science and look forward to working closely with AECOM’s Programme Management leadership over the next years.”

Programme management leaders are often required to integrate expertise located in several silos (teams, technology, systems) across multiple organisational levels (client, programme partner, supply chain organisations), and phases of the project (development, delivery, operations). Integration and collaboration are key to unlock value in such complex and fast-paced environments.

The creation of such an integrated environment is essential to incorporate the right expertise from different teams at the right time. Such a combination of expertise is fundamental to addressing the urgent need to deliver major infrastructure programmes sustainably, with net zero and sustainability as a strategic driver and at the heart of decision-making.

“The partnership between AECOM and UCL promises to transform sectors and communities through advancing the science of infrastructure projects,” said Professor Christoph Linder, Dean, The Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment. “Bringing together organisations at the forefront of the built environment and infrastructure programme management, AECOM’s generous gift will accelerate knowledge creation and dissemination, bringing significant benefits to society and to the planet. The Bartlett is delighted to be part of this innovative partnership, united by a shared vision to build a better future.”

“We are thrilled to partner with AECOM and very grateful for the generous support for doctoral students in major infrastructure delivery and programme management at BSSC,” said Professor D’Maris Coffman, recent Director of The Bartlett School of Sustainable Construction and incoming Vice Dean Innovation and Enterprise. “I am very pleased about the strategic alignment between AECOM’s vision to address the challenges of the 21st century through programme management and the research agenda of the UCL Megaproject Delivery Centre.”

LONDON (June 07, 2022) — AECOM, the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting firm, has delivered its ninth Pavilion project for the Serpentine Galleries in London, and is celebrating ten years as the Gallery’s technical advisor across all its exhibitions and estate developments.

This year’s Pavilion has been designed by Chicago-based artist Theaster Gates, with the architectural support of Adjaye Associates and AECOM providing the full range of engineering, technical advisory and project management services.

Working closely with the design team, Serpentine Galleries, the project’s contractor Stage One and technical advisor David Glover, AECOM has realised Theaster’s vision for Black Chapel, which draws inspiration from the architectural typologies of chapels and the great kilns of Stoke-on-Trent, England. The structure’s circularity and volume echo the form of a sacred space or chapel that protects and gathers.

At over 10 metres tall, the Pavilion is one of the largest to date and has an emphasis on low carbon and reusable materials. Parametric modelling was used to optimise the volume of the internal space against the material use and budget. The timber cylindrical superstructure sits beneath a spoke wheel roof, creating a central oculus and single source of light that floods into the space below.

The structural design takes fully exposed timber technology that is more commonly used in domestic floor construction, to new heights, using lightweight MiTek posi-joists and a plywood stressed skin that has resulted in an extremely lightweight superstructure with minimal foundations. The structure is highly repetitive, allowing the team to focus on a small number of critical details and minimise material use.

Madalina Taylor, Senior Engineer, AECOM, said: “The Pavilion appears very simple from the outside, but looks can be deceptive. Using light-weight timber technology at this scale has required careful analysis, research, mock-ups and physical testing to ensure it performs both at the Serpentine Galleries and in its future life. With a focus on making the Pavilion entirely demountable, we’ve created a very low carbon structure that will host a diverse and exciting programme of summer events.”

The modular build, prefabricated at Stage One’s facility in York, adopts standard sizes for the timber panels in order to minimise waste. Any residual waste timber has been chipped and used in Stage One’s biomass system that heats its buildings, meaning no waste has been transported away from the fabrication site.

The entire superstructure, including the timber-framed walls, roof and suspended floor, along with its small, low-cement foundations, is fully demountable using simple bolts and screws, and the structure’s rubber waterproofing membrane can be easily separated from the timber frame and reused or recycled. This approach results in a very low upfront carbon footprint for the build and allows the Pavilion to be completely rebuilt in a new location after its first life in Kensington Gardens.

This year the team has worked with Grace Farms Foundation, who have audited the materials sourced for the Pavilion to ensure they are ethically sourced from sustainable supply chains.

The Pavilion is set to host a dynamic programme of events throughout the summer, including the return of the Gallery’s Park Nights programme, music and dance performances and educational community workshops.

The Serpentine Pavilion architectural commission showcases new temporary buildings by international architects. Zaha Hadid was the first architect selected to present her design in 2000. This year marks the Serpentine Galleries’ 21^st  Pavilion, which is open to the public from June to October.

The project’s highly anticipated West extension is expected to support post-pandemic economic recovery and provide the region with affordable public transit

EDMONTON, ALBERTA, CANADA (June 30, 2021) — AECOM (NYSE: ACM), the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting firm, announced today that the AECOM-led ConnectED Transit Partnership (CTP) has been approved by the City of Edmonton to continue its role as owner’s engineer on the Valley Line light rail transit (LRT) extension. The CAD$124 million contract value amendment encompasses design and construction compliance review services for Valley Line West, which is entering construction, and additional work on Valley Line Southeast, which is currently under construction.

“This contract amendment demonstrates our commitment to the City of Edmonton and the value delivered by CTP on the project thus far,” said Marc Devlin, AECOM’s regional chief executive, Canada. “In just ten years, the city has advanced this massive LRT system to construction. We congratulate them and are proud to have played a part in this tremendous success. We look forward to work ramping up as we enter this next phase of the project, which, once complete, will enhance the lives of Edmontonians with affordable, sustainable, and transformative public transit.”

AECOM and its CTP partners have served as owner’s engineer on the Valley Line LRT since preliminary design began in 2011. The team has successfully mobilized and continued to advance work on the project throughout 2020 and 2021, despite COVID-19 challenges. As construction on Valley Line West commences, it is expected to support post-pandemic recovery through the creation of thousands of jobs.  

The Edmonton LRT Valley Line extension is a CAD$4.2 billion low-floor, urban line that encompasses a total of 27 kilometres of double track, a 500 metre tunnel, two kilometres of elevated structures, and 28 stations. The project also includes a new light rail vehicle operations and maintenance facility, five transit centres, two park-and-ride facilities, and several bridges. Construction on Valley Line Southeast is expected to be complete this year and construction on Valley Line West is expected to be complete by 2027.
