Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

[kun]

I hope the City Square Plaza has a glazed roof that connects to both buildings. That would be great in the Summer and Spring months letting plenty of light into the covered City Square Plaza. There are plenty of examples around the world.

Cabot Circus in Bristol is a good example.

looks like a train station

I hope one of the main things to come from the works is no more coloured floor coverings. They look bleak as anything now they are dirty

If you want to add colour light the stadium up and plant trees

Imagine permeable concrete around the stadium.

Imagine permeable concrete around the stadium.

Again another cracking idea that should be mentioned mate!

No chance with Manchester rain.

Imagine permeable concrete around the stadium.

Never seen that before, it looks like it's very good CGI, are you sure it's real? ;)

Similar to yours, but just as bad. :-)

But why would the club be doing soil testing on the Collar site as shown in my picture, which I recently posted, if the hotel, Museum and souvenir shop are to be incorporated into the North stand and the ground?

Here's my turn at being Tony Hart lol , please see the attachment from COOP live to see where all the footfall goes

JMW - Joe Mercer Way
NSS- North Stand Expansion
TS- New Tram Stairway added for COOP Live
CL-Coop Live
CS+M Club Shop & Muesuem
FS -Food Stalls
H-Hotel
SC- Old Super Casino Site(Future Devlopment)
CP(Yellow)- City Plaza

The reason for moving it over is the footfall that is going to come from COOP Live Canalside bars on matchday plus when the football is not on Forge Lane Bridge is going to be used by people exiting the COOP Live

Plus using this information here 32 percent of people are going to walk down City Plaza so that is why I placed the hotel next to Alan Turing Way, the future development of the old super casino site makes sense to be developed into leisure facilities as there is a lot of footfall heading that way with both the COOP Live and games at the Etihad, the club want people to hang about after concerts and games so not affecting the traffic.

A lot of people on here talk about other hotels, may the industrial estate next to the Mercedes Garage is the spot for future hotel developments as it was originally earmarked in the student accommodation in the development plan.

But that ship has now sailed as University is no longer building at Etihad Campus. The site would be perfect for hotels and multi-storey car parks and other facilities there is also a tram stop at Holt Town

Someone posted on here about the walkway along the Ashton Canal would need to be upgraded and lighting installed, totally agree. The public realm around the stadium needs a lot of work as well, especially Joe Mercer Way

Phillips Park and Pollard Yard area and the old gas storage sites have big part to play in the future of the site

Here is the Hydro there is seven hotels roundabout it , but the whole area which is the Scottish Event Campus can hold up to 32,000 people.

The COOP live can hold 23,500 people and the expanded Etihad can hold upto 60,000.

Maybe need more hotels ????

The other side of the SEC is a massive car park and there is multistorey next to the Moxy and there is car parking at the Village,Premier Inn,
