STADIUMS l DEVELOPMENT PIPELINE


■ Brentford FC stadium London, UK Opening: TBC


Willmott Dixon has been named the preferred development partner by Brentford Football Club for its new 20,000-seat stadium in west London. The new stadium plans will see


The design of the stadium - created by local architects - mimics a traditional nomadic tent


■ Al Bayt stadium Al Khor, Qatar Opening: 2018


Initial designs have been revealed for the proposed 60,000-capacity Al Bayt stadium in Al Khor district, Qatar. The stadium is set to host one of the two semi-fi nals during the FIFA World Cup in 2022 – if the gulf state keeps its right to host the tournament following investigations into corruption. Clearing work has already begun on the


site of the stadium and construction is set to be completed by 2018. Similar to the London 2012 Olympic Stadium, the structure will have an upper layer of removable seats

that will be taken away after the World Cup in 2022, reducing the capacity of the stadium to 32,000 in legacy mode. According to the Supreme Council


for Delivery and Legacy (the organising committee for the 2022 World Cup), the removable top tier and its modular parts will be donated and used to build stadiums in countries around the world that “lack adequate sporting infrastructure”. The facility will also take up ethical building techniques, complying with LEED and Global Sustainability Assessment System (GSAS) ratings, using renewable energy methods for the stadium itself as well as the surrounding area.

Brentford move from its current home of Griffi n Park – the club’s home since 1904 – and move to the new location on Lionel Road South. The new venue will be partly funded by the construction and selling of 910 new homes, which will be built adjacent to the new stadium and on the site of Griffi n Park after it has been demolished. The surround- ing area will also be regenerated with improvements made to the local envi- ronment and infrastructure. Plans are for the stadium to be


completed in time for the 2016-17 football season while the homes will be built over a six-year period. The project was masterplanned


by FaulknerBrowns architects, while AFLS+P did the stadium design. Planning consent for the development was approved in December 2013. Details: http://lei.sr?a=N2Y0f


Brentford is to leave its home of 100 years
