Local firm Westlake Reed Leskosky has been chosen to design renovations to the Cleveland Browns' Training and Administrative Complex in Berea, Ohio. The project will expand office space and is aimed at allowing the maximum number of employees to work at the site simultaneously, facilitating communication and collaboration.
Originally opened in 1991, the 13-acre facility was previously renovated in 1999 and 2009. It includes a training building, a field house, and four regulation-size natural grass practice fields supporting year-round operations.
The renovation will be fast-tracked, with a target completion by mid-July of this year. The firm is providing architectural and interior design; MEP and structural engineering; and lighting, AV, information technology, security, and graphics design.
