Missouri-based architectural firm Ellerbe Becket has been hired to help implement cost-cutting measures for Frank Gehry’s $800 million dollar stadium plans at the Atlantic Yards, a Forest City Ratner spokesperson said yesterday. Ellerbe Becket is known for designs that are more cost efficient and practical. The firm, which has designed basketball arenas for the NBA in Charlotte and Memphis, is slated to complete its reevaluation of Gehry’s plans by July. Ratner will then determine whether Gehry will stay on as the master architect of the Atlantic Yards project, which in addition to a sports arena, will also feature 16 commercial and residential towers.
