Sports architecture
Winning by design
JLG Architects doesn’t just design sports facilities; we build epic arenas of energy where championships are won, crowds roar, and athletes rise to the occasion. As one of the country’s sports architecture giants, JLG creates high-performance destinations that recruit top talent, generate year-round revenue, and deliver an unrivaled fan experience. With a powerhouse team – including the nation’s only Certified Ice Rink Manager/Certified Ice Technician Architect and former NHL player Architect – we break the ice to design game-changing venues that bring people together.
When it comes to community recreation, JLG believes great community design goes beyond great programs: building connections, fostering engagement, and enhancing quality of life through dynamic, multi-use, community-driven hubs. With award-winning, cross-country expertise, JLG meets city leaders and citizens where they are, informing solutions that build active, social, sustainable, and healthy lifestyles. From concept to completion, we design where your community belongs, plays, thrives, and grows stronger – together.
