Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

[warpig]

I do and again - that's part of the stage D design report. Stage D is design development under the 2007 RIBA CODING MATIRX

http://www.architecture.com/Files/R...actice/Archive/OutlinePlanofWork(revised).pdf

It's ok the client at this stage requesting a permanent / temporary structure for future use, but during design development it became apparent that it wasn't possible due to the nature of the existing roof.

That's why it changed

ermmmmm, the RIBA 2007 Plan was superseded in 2013 was it not?

 

[swifty]

surely the stand would have been designed using the 2013 RIBA regulations and not the superceded 2007 coding matrix and therefore it would be under stage 3 and 4 technical design.

Design started in 2011 so it remained under 2007 coding

Looks huge :)

It'll look even bigger when they bolt on the first 3-4 rows. (They couldn't get them in before due to the old roof)

Great pic..hopefully the SS will be rocking next season

Only 55 days to the opening of the 2015-16 season. I was wondering if the seats in the SS will be occupied BUT the Corporate section will still be in the process of
continuing to be "fitted out".

Don't think all the people who spent £1200 to £1700 would be too happy if that happened. I presume you mean the premium seats not the corporate.

Think he means the new Legend's Lounge.

Ah right, yes I suppose that could be left 'till last, but they could just throw an extra team in there without impacting on the other works.

Looks like there's shit loads of work left. Two months before our first home game, it will be touch and go for it to be ready in my opinion.

Is there an outrigger to go on the end of the roof? It looks to me that a lot of folks are going to get mighty wet in the bottom tier.

 

[Didsbury Dave]

Does the fact that they haven't installed seats in the first 5 or 6 rows mean that they will be padded/fenced off as an additional corporate area?

It can't not be ready, they've sold it out for the first game, and phoning everyone up and saying "ooops we're sorry we're not ready yet" isn't likely to be an option.

I don't think there's any corporate in the upper tier, the front seats are more expensive (about 10 rows), but doubt they'd be padded for £600, they have created an area for corporate in the second tier, I think its the most central block where the away fans used to be, and is for those using the lounge between the tiers (Legends ?).

Its probably because they need access for machinery from the entrances, so they'll be done last I expect.

No that's where the old roof prevented access until it was removed.

The corporate section is the middle of the two of the centralish blocks to the left as you look
I'd imagine this is for use for Legends Lounge people who will get a better view and atmosphere from up at the back of the second tier

No. Only new corporate seats are half and half of the central 2nd tier blocks.

Even better than MK Dons stadium where it is possible to watch a game whilst lay in the bed in your hotel room... with possibly a young lady under the covers with her mou.... err... moving swiftly on...

I'm staying there we'd to Friday this week

I really hope the first home game WILL be on a Saturday at 3-00pm K.O. With a sell out - over 50,000 fans -

Non of this SKY Monday 8-00pm rubbish.

Obviously. There's going to be a lot of people working over time on it, that's for sure.
