Innovate Stadia: A unique vision for Modular Stadia

Innovate Stadia is a UK-based stadium and arena construction specialist helping clubs and organisations build world-class sports venues. With an international team of specialist architects, engineers and project managers, Innovate Stadia deliver modern facilities that are high-quality, cost-effective and built to last.  

The Innovate Stadia Mission 

We aim to provide truly economic facilities without sacrificing suitability. We believe in creating opportunities for owners and supporters to achieve their ideal venue. 

Modular, prefabricated construction sits at the heart of the Innovate Stadia approach, offering a faster, less disruptive and more environmentally responsible alternative to  traditional construction methods. Build times are significantly reduced, on-site  disruption is minimised and environmental impact is lower. All of this without compromising quality. Whether a new build stadium, a stand expansion or a renovation, Innovate Stadia designs solutions to fit new and existing structures, as well as tight budgets.  

In partnership with SPS Technology, Innovate Stadia is redefining how stadiums are  built, redeveloped and experienced by combining deep sector expertise with advanced construction materials resulting in venues that owners and supporters are proud of.  

Our Stadium Redevelopment Approach 

Every renovation begins with a site survey and structural engineer’s report. From there, Innovate Stadium can: 

• Modernise concourses and back-of-house facilities 
• Replace ageing roofs with modern, high-performance designs 
• Upgrade facades and curtain walling to give any venue a contemporary finish
• Re-profile terracing to restore or increase capacity using the SPS Stadia+Arenas System 
• Extend the operational life of existing structures, bringing them fully up to  present-day build standard in both appearance and function.  

The result is a stadium that looks and performs like new, delivered for a fraction of what new construction would cost.  

The 2026 SVB LIVE Conference & Exhibition – with a focus on elevating the live experience through pillars including Architecture & Design, Hospitality and Premium Experience – is being hosted at Everton’s spectacular Hill Dickinson Stadium, October 1st and 2nd, with an Opening Night Icebreaker at Liverpool FC’s iconic Anfield on September 30th.

The SPS Stadia+Arenas System 

Innovate Stadia is one of the few companies working directly with SPS Technology to deliver projects with Sandwich Plate System, a revolutionary structural composite. SPS replaces precast concrete in new or existing venues to produce adaptable, lighter, and more durable structures. The prefabricated SPS Stadia+Arenas System arrives painted and ready for installation and includes terraces as well as aisle steps, stairs, platforms and vomitory walls. 

The advantages of SPS over traditional concrete and aluminium systems are significant: 

• Construction programmes run as much as 50% faster 
• Overall construction weighs 55% less, requiring fewer frames 
• The modular prefabricated design delivers precision and speed on site
• The ability to re-profile your existing venue, ensuring iconic venues are relevant for future generations. 

Uniquely in the market, the SPS Stadia+Arenas System ‘Overbuild’ Solution is used to  renovate existing venues without extensive demolition. The System is also used for stadium expansion in new upper tier bowls, often without the need for upgrading  existing foundations.  

The SPS Stadia+Arenas System delivers greater architectural flexibility, a higher  strength-to-weight ratio, longer spans, easier maintenance and optimised performance for dynamic loading and seismic conditions.  

Addressing Global Stadium Challenges 

Across the world, many existing stadiums are no longer sufficient to meet the evolving needs of fans and owners. At Innovate Stadia, our streamlined construction methods allow for shorter build times, which in turn lowers costs and gives greater predictability  or project budgets. If a stadium is underperforming due to capacity restrictions or poor conditions, we offer effective redevelopment and renovation solutions.  

Delivering Fast, Flexible, Future-proof Venues

For initial design through to final completion, the Innovate Stadia team provides  economical, tailored solutions for every stadium and arena brief. Our approach means faster project delivery and a quicker return on investment for every client.  

Innovate Stadia will advise on flexible financing options, including lease and hire purchase agreements of up to 15 years allowing clubs to invest in their future without the upfront pressures of conventional financing.  

Current Pipeline 

Innovate Stadia currently has a strong pipeline of projects across the UK, EU, Eastern Europe, Africa and the Caribbean, reflecting the breadth of experience and global reach the team has built over many years of successful delivery.
