HOK Sport rebrands as Populous:
The firm, which employs around 500 staff around the world, underwent a management buy-out from parent company HOK Group last December, led by senior principal Rod Sheard among others.
Sheard said: “What we do best is design buildings that draw people together so Populous is the perfect name to reflect our business.
“Whether it’s for sports and entertainment or exhibits and conferences, our aim is to create buildings that people love to be in, and which can become a point of reference and rejuvenation for their communities.
I doubt that the new firm will be flattening the land so his people can go from tents, to log cabins, to castle keeps to full castles, but just in case, can someone warn me when the Blue Tribe will attack the Red Tribe before Armageddon occurs?
And why announce this name change on April Fools Day?
