North Stand Construction Discussion

Who's going to occupy the commercial building? I presume it's City. Moving all the admin out of the stadium, at a guess?
A lot of admin is over in the CFA building currently. The commercial building will be a museum on the lower floor, a club shop and then workspace in the floors above.
 
You missed off the toxic apocalyptic wasteland that was Clayton Aniline, the Sheikh should be thanked for cleaning up just that with no cost to the taxpayer.
Not true I’m afraid. The decontamination of the Clayton Aniline site was carried out at public expense, before City took over, as no one would touch it without remediation.

1894 are taking one of the offices, and the office next to it is being converted into the banner storage room. ;-)

Scroll down the page for some updates on the North stand expansion.

Ed Dalton, who has been at the Club since 2009, has not only seen all the big changes to City’s buildings/structures across the 15 years, but the Director of Infrastructure Development has helped with the execution and delivery of our world-class facilities.

From the Design Access Statement I think there has been some modifications
The temporary City Store was is located in what was City at Home a commercial building the staff there were moved to the CFA I guess they will be moved here when its finished

Some of the office space will be available to external companies to lease Im guessing there will be some available on an ad-hoc basis as well

I'm less certain of who actually paid now but it was Brooklands Development Ltd (a wholly owned City company) who applied for the preparatory ground works in 2011.

I have the documents somewhere and will try to dig them out. I had a project at work involving this area.

The former development agency New East Manchester was responsible for remediating and decontaminating the whole Etihad Campus area including other areas such as New Islington and Holt Town.

New East Manchester lost its funding after the change of Government in 2010 and was absorbed into the City Council a year later.

Heavily contaminated sites like Clayton Analine - a former chemical works - depend on public funds for remediation before the private sector will be prepared to develop the area.

There was also the former Bradford Colliery site where the main stadium is cited. This also required public funding for capping the mine shafts and decontaminating the area that was done before the Commonwealth Games.
 
I seem to remember that it was mentioned some years ago that at some point the club was going to fill in the 4 corners. Does anyone know if this is true & if so how much it would increase capacity by.
 
Thankyou Ian, it is very much appreciated. I'm just impressed with the build. SISK are doing an excellent job. Cheers
No problem, please could you zoom in on the Commercial Level 03 Cantilever beams and Corbels when they start to appear over the coming weeks shown here...much appreciated

Why is it that different from the hotel building downstand beams out of interest? The cantilever looks a similar distance.

Just FYI, your Wigan flooding video the other day was really helpful
Thanks Damocles, we are due to get snow this weekend. If I can get down to the ground Sunday I will bring another video out then.
