Edgbaston, Raglan and Priory redevelopment

The redevelopment of the Raglan and Priory stands was centred around revenue generation for the club. To the front, a new pitchside 3,200 seat stand would provide enhanced spectator facilities with new food and beverage offers housed beneath the terraces. To the rear, a new hotel building would offer non-matchday revenue, along with the opportunity to convert the rooms into hospitality boxes during matches to further increase revenue.

Alex led the structural and civil teams from concept development through to Stage 3 and a successful planning application. Key successes included the removal of all piles to reduce the construction cost and programme, and the use of precast systems to the terracing frame to allow speed of construction to reopen seats as soon as possible while construction on the hotel could proceed in a delinked programme.
