Within 25 years of its establishment, the firm had become well known for its design work for the built environment,[14][15] acquiring a reputation for its competence at undertaking projects that were structurally and/or logistically complex.[6] Arup himself worked on multiple projects during the firm's early years, including the Sydney Opera House, where he was lead engineer, and which author Peter Jones credited with launching Arup into the premier league of engineering consultancies.[16][17] The Opera House was the first application of computer calculations to an engineering project, using the Ferranti Pegasus computer to generate models.[18]
Arup had its own sports division, specialising in designing, consulting and structural engineering for sporting facilities such as stadia.[37] Many of Arup's modern stadia are designed with a contemporary, distinctive edge and the company strives to revolutionise stadium architecture and performance.[37] For instance, the Bird's Nest Stadium for the 2008 Olympics was complimented for its striking architectural appearance[38] and the City of Manchester Stadium for the 2002 Commonwealth Games has stairless entry to the upper tiers through circular ramps outside the stadium.[37] The most notable stadium projects led by Arup remain the City of Manchester Stadium (2002), Allianz Arena (2005), Beijing National Stadium (2008), Donbass Arena (2009) and the Singapore Sports Hub (2014).
