JUNE 2005 - Lingfield Park Grandstand - COMPLETE

This conversion totally transforms the original 1920's structure into a high tec grandstand. The entire project was designed within a short time frame of 3 months. There followed a tight build programme phased around a busy race meeting calendar culminating in phased handovers for Derby trials in May.

Originally a brand new stand was considered costing about £11m, yet this refurbishment at one quarter the cost provides similar accommodation. The trackside façade is now a modern glass and steel structure. Likewise, the public façade is enhanced by a dynamic glass entrance of 400m². In this way the original outdated building now looks and feels very contemporary. All this achieved at moderate expense by judicial design.
