North Stand Construction Discussion

For those asking, been discussed before, worth searching through the thread (PV too).

There are loads being put on the roofs of The spitals, the entrance roof, the ancillary buildings, snd the hotel/office.

The stadium roof abive the stands isn't getting any, presumablt to keep the weight and engineering required mimimal for the large spans and curves involved.

Can understand with the existing although I'm surprised they haven't incorporated them into the new roof as easier to design in from scratch and the curve is made up of flat panels anyway.

Although with the amount on the CFA, plus hotel etc, presume it gets the whole thing to where they want to be in terms of carbon.

Hard to judge scale but it appears about 2 to 3 m wide ??

Maybe the internal ramp bit, I was meaning more the roof walkway itself once up and out onto it. From memory it tapers in as well, with the handrails as the widest point.
 
I believe that the City store will eventually be located on the bottom of the new building. But will the rest of the building be solely used by City staff? That's a lot of office space!

Yeah they have considered it holistically, with air source heat pumps, water management, PVs as top-ups, etc. It will all come together, hopefully, in the planned timeframe. Agree though, important long term consideration.
 
The short video is a little bit blurry as it was taken on full video zoom on my mobile.

From the outside of the right side of the North stand.

Watch it on Youtube so the video is enlarged on your device.

Only 30-35% of the building is office space.

30% is the museum, and 30-35% commercial and retail space.

The first two levels are commercial space, and I imagine from the way it is laid out would/could be almost independent of the club. Similar to how across the square will have individual f&b units.

The 3rd floor is retail, and as it is the only floor that connects to the stand, I think that's where the club shop will be, although it may well tie in with at least one of the units on the floor below with the voids introduced.

The next two floors up are the museum, and then the last floors are the office.

So not as much as the building makes you think from how it appears from the outside or in the drone videos.

Cheers. First two floors, commercial space? What do you think will go in there; catering? Bars? I'd assumed that the store would be on the ground floor. For ease of access for wheelchair bound people. Save messing about with lifts? Also, 2 floors for the museum? We've only been around for 17 years; what will we fill two floors with?

Na catering and bars is a separate planning category. That can change in the future of course with a formal change of use approval, but under this one as is, it will be shops of some type. Whether club related or otherwise. I would imagine st least one part will be accessed off the ground level and link up to the 3rd so you can go from the stand through the shop and out the square. Or vice versa. The other units might be something else.

Plenty of bars and catering on the opposite side of the square, under the hotel. Independent of the hotel which starts at the second level and has its own food/bar area.
