Cleveland Browns choose local firm to renovate Berea complex

BEREA, Ohio – The Browns’ roster redesign is underway. Renovating the franchise’s training and administrative facility begins next month.

The Browns have selected Cleveland-based Westlake Reed Leskosky to design renovations for the Berea headquarters. Team CEO Joe Banner said last month he wanted almost all the team’s personnel working under one roof. The Browns currently have some employees stationed at FirstEnergy Stadium.

“Our goal is to create a vibrant, high energy space that maximizes the ability of every one of our employees to perform at the highest level,” Banner said in a release Tuesday.  “We want to establish an environment that supports the excellence of the people in our organization and our business partners.  We look forward to working with Westlake Reed Leskosky during the course of this project.”

The majority of improvements will be made on the facility's second floor, team spokesman Neal Gulkis said. The upgrades will create more offices. 

Westlake Reed Leskosky recently served as architect, engineer, and technology designer for major expansion and renovation of the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton.

The Berea complex, built in 1991, is located on 13 acres of land. It was previously renovated in 1999 and 2009. The latest renovation will start in March with hopes of being completed by mid-July.
