Biography"Sheard was born in Brisbane, Australia in 1951 and attended Graceville State School and Indooroopilly High School. Originally intending to pursue a career in professional tennis (he was a ball boy at the 1969 Australian Open), Sheard settled instead on working as an architect, and studied architecture at the Queensland Institute of Technology (now Queensland University of Technology).[2] His experience in sport architecture began in 1975 when he completed his studies in Australia and travelled to England, joining Howard V. Lobb and Partners, a long-established architectural practice. In 1981, after working on a number of sports projects in Nigeria and India, Sheard became a Partner in the firm, and in 1993 became Chairman, and changed the name of the firm to LOBB Sports Architecture."--https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_Sheard
