Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

don't know why it has to be taken down , apparently its contaminated land anyway so don't see any benefit from it
The contaminated land could be true I seem to remember a lot of issues building the know Etihad, They have managed to use them in London at the Oval flats I think, I'm not so sure that many people care but we have lost one and once this is go it's gone. The land will probably be a car park withing 12 months.

Other gasometers around the world had considerably more architectural merit than the rsgs in bradford...even in the late 1800s there were levels....nobody is restoring a council house white radiator...and every embossed free standing cast radiator will find a home..
 
A good shot of the land up for sale at the back of the car parks including the gas holder land.

Just down the road from the Etihad.

The Ancoats Mobility Hub is an innovative project that will support the future development of the Poland Street area. The Hub will provide spaces for resident and visitor parking, taking vehicles off local roads, as well as proving sustainable transport options in a community setting alongside the fully refurbished Ancoats Green.

With future development in Ancoats set to create a new neighbourhood of 1,500 new homes, the Hub will be an integral part of prioritising people over vehicles, something local people have told us is important to them.

  • 150 secure bike parking spaces and changing facilities
  • 102 Electronic vehicle charging points, with potential for more
  • Up to 30 spaces for car club/car share schemes
  • 406 car parking spaces for residents and visitors
  • Parcel delivery hub
  • 400 rooftop solar panels
  • Space for a new café
  • A new commercial unit
  • Over 400sqm of green wall
  • Over 1300sqm of new public realm, connected to Ancoats Green

I’m sure there is a number of years where they leave it fallow then becomes useable since the land is up for sale that time may well have passed

In any event land can be decontaminated using a variety of approaches. The training centre was built on the site of a highly contaminated former chemical works.

You can either seal the contamination in, or remove it and replace with fresh soil or use 'clean cover' to dilute the contamination down to acceptable levels.
