MMU TO ESTABLISH INSTITUTE OF SPORT NEXT TO ETIHAD STADIUM
8 Dec 2017 North West Property Richard Frost
Map of the Eastlands Regeneration Framework area
Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) plans to establish an Institute of Sport next to Manchester City's Etihad Stadium in a move that could kick-start the next stage of regeneration in the east of the city.
In March 2017, Manchester City Council's executive endorsed the draft Eastlands Regeneration Framework for consultation, which included plans to create a higher education campus, commercial development aimed at sports-related businesses, a hotel, a strengthened food and drink offering, and more homes. At the time, councillors were told that talks were underway with potential academic partners for the project
Now, a new council report has confirmed that the 'Manchester Metropolitan Institute of Sport' will be located within a new Sports and Innovation Zone, which includes existing assets such as the athletics track and the squash centre, at the heart of the Etihad Campus. It is recommending that the executive welcomes MMU's decision to establish its sports academic base on the campus and approves the final draft Eastlands Regeneration Framework. The updated framework features minor changes to the draft endorsed in March.
The Manchester Metropolitan Institute of Sport will provide both undergraduate and postgraduate courses and will be anchored by R&D along with knowledge exchange, according to the report. MMU has stated a requirement for a 'campus-style' approach to the academic facilities and future student accommodation, alongside space that can promote innovation and business innovation.
The report added: "The scale, nature and ambition of the opportunities that can be brought forward within the Eastlands Regeneration Framework area now offers real and tangible prospects of securing much wider regeneration benefits for east Manchester. The decision of Manchester Metropolitan University to develop their Manchester Metropolitan Institute of Sport on the Etihad Campus within the proposed Sports and Innovation Zone is to be welcomed.
"The new employment opportunities that will flow from the next generation of investment across the framework area will make significant impacts on the lives of East Manchester residents and contribute to the delivery of the long term regeneration of the East Manchester area. The Eastlands Strategic Framework has been prepared specifically to guide this new development and investment activity and it will provide the essential robust framework to enable planning applications to be determined."
Map of the Sports and Innovation Zone
The report also includes an updated version of the Eastlands Regeneration Framework, dated November 2017, which sheds further light on the plans. According to the framework, a higher education presence led by MMU would:
- Underpin the development of a globally significant sports, leisure and recreation economic cluster attracting new industry partners to the city and driving forward new business start-ups;
- Help attract new world-leading professional sports organisations to the city; and
- Strengthen the top-flight university and further education capabilities already present in Greater Manchester.
It added: "The Etihad Campus Sport and Innovation Zone will be anchored by the proposed Manchester Metropolitan University Sports Institute, a higher education institution that will be a global leading facility that promotes leading research, development and innovation in the world of sport, attracting the best academic, graduate and post-graduate talent.
"Centred to the north and south of the Ashton Canal to the north-west of the Etihad Stadium adjacent to the existing regional athletics centre, the indoor training centre, the squash centre and the tennis centre, and extending to the River Medlock and Ashton New Road. This part of the site will accommodate new higher education and support facilities, including offices, labs, lecture theatres and training space and accommodation for over 3,000 students."

Attractions missing from Manchester...
A full size 50m Olympic swimming pool. The commonwealth pool is narrow in that respect.
A large water park attraction. From what I can see the Trafford Centre will not have this either.
A full size Olympic ice rink and hokey rink. The nearest is Altrincham.
Virtual Reality attraction
Lots of other things are present but not on a large scale.
An indoor climbing/ice climbing centre etc...
GoApe type attraction
Just a few ideas off the top of my head.

Good shout on those. Personally I think something for the kids, they are after all the future. Indoor virtual reality attraction (universal like) incorporating some kind of city related stuff, kiss me quick City hats, stadium tour and then off to shop to buy city top.

This is the first phase which includes the following:
- Treatment and Rehabilitation Rooms
- 3T MRI Imaging
- Ultrasound
- X-Ray
- DEXA
- 3D Performance Capture Hall
- Cryotherapy Suite
- Environmental Chamber
- Strength and Conditioning Gym
- Hydrotherapy
- Physiology Lab
- Bio-mechanics Lab
- On-site Laboratories
- Lecture Theatre and Seminar Rooms
They spoke about the use of medical facilities for MRI & CT scans & a plan for a bio medical research division.
There was a plan to create an unrivalled theatre division where operations could be carried out, instead of City sending players locally, around the UK and abroad. They said there was a plan to do this in conjunction with Salford Hope Hospital who would also utilise the facility.
The Bridgewater complex was mentioned by someone in the audience, especially in reference to what would happen to the medical services they supplied us. The fella doing the main talk tried to swerve talking about Bridgewater, but it was obvious this new facility was to replace it.
The 19-bed Bridgewater Hospital offered a range of treatments including hip and knee replacements, cosmetic surgery, dermatology and physiotherapy treatments. Many of the doctors there also work within the NHS, particularly Salford Hope University Hospital.
Both United and City used the hospital in Hulme to carry out medical exams on new signings for years. Juan Mata, Angel di Maria, Daley Blind, Sergio Aguero and others were pictured in the media arriving at the clinic for checks ahead of their moves to United and City respectively. However, as a result of the plans at CFA, Bridgewater went into liquidation 18 months after the CFA launch.
I know the original plans were altered, but to what extent I don't know. Eg: What is the involvement of Salford Hope Hospital? MMU were to build a campus there which has now been scrapped. It's my understanding the campus will go ahead once a new higher education partner has been found, but who & when I don't know.
The plans we see now were changed from the original ones. Eg: Gordon Brown scrapped plans for the Super Casino saying it would prey on the most vulnerable in the area. With those plans, went the new Arena (which is now back on the table), and the entertainment complex of which the Super Casino was central.
There were plans for more mixed use housing, a business complex & more. To accommodate this, MCC & City held talks with ASDA about moving their hyper store. However after the collapse of the planned Super Casino & leisure complex, talks were ended.
There was talk of several hotels. One for use by foreign based CFA youth team players, & another for use by the first team before home & away matches (I think Pep has scaled the uses of this back to give players more time with family).
The other hotels were linked to the sport & mainly leisure facilities, but again everything has gone quiet on this because Gordon Brown stopped the Super Casino, after Tony Blair's government had approved it.
It seems these plans are fluid, but make no mistake that a world class medical facility, linked to Salford Hope Hospital, a higher education provider, which had a commercial arm was the original plan. It seems like we're still trying to complete these plans.

Also not got an iconic roof top view of the city centre that is somewhere for visitors to take pictures of the skyline. Somewhere at the Etihad Campus would be ideal as the view of the skyline from high up is excellent. There are some good places in Town but if you’re in one of the buildings of the skyline you’re not capturing the whole thing.
If a hotel was built here, it should have a roof top visitor attraction for that. Or there should be something built especially for it. A tall attraction/viewing tower that has a look-out point to see Town from.
Could be one of those things visitors to Manchester have on their walls at home, their own snaps of the skyline, which is always changing and growing so always worth a visit.
Thanks for that, I concede the club may have had aspirations for such services, like everything else that’s not come to fruition for the site. Given the dire situation in the nhs with funding I can see why Salford, a foundation trust, would live to jump into bed with city. The fact it’s not happens tells all.
I would be amazed if City essentially build a private hospital delivering orthopaedic operations for the wider sporting community. But if it happens I will gladly hold my hands up, however given nothing happened in past 10 years likely tells its own story.
Diagnosis and rehab I get, but inpatient surgical facilities I’m not convinced at all. Time will tell mate
