Project Director Sean Stagg shares the inside story an iconic project that had the
eyes of the nation on it - the redevelopment of Lansdowne Road (now Aviva)
stadium. Aged just 35yrs old when he got the call, Sean experienced the “pure
emotion and excitement’ of being appointed to the project, before the ‘fear’ of what lay ahead took over. But despite the challenges he faced, his firm belief in a
successful outcome never waned.

In this episode of Inside Sisk: The Legacy Series, Sean shares the highs and the
lows of this landmark project and the valuable lessons he learned about
problem-solving, community engagement, and work-life balance.

Inside Sisk: The Legacy Series explores the enduring impact of construction — not just the projects that transform skylines and cities, but the people, values, and culture that leave a lasting mark long after the work is complete. Unlike previous series, which focused on the challenges, innovations, and stories behind individual builds, this series digs deeper into what it means to create legacy. Through personal reflections from those shaping the built environment, we uncover how buildings, projects, and everyday interactions together can create legacies that last.
