What the client needed
The Melbourne Cricket Club needed its old southern stand replaced in time for the 1992 Cricket World Cup, without stopping the ground's sporting calendar.
Scope and delivery
- Staged demolition of the old stand around the sporting calendar
- A 324-metre-long, 45-metre-high stand with four tiers of seating
- Food and beverage, bars and corporate suites
- Underground car parking, offices and a police station within the stand
Why it matters
Building in a live venue to a fixed event date is the stadium brief at its hardest.
