Global achitecure company Populous is one of eight 'teams' in the
running to win the contract for the redevelopment of Barcelona's Camp
Nou stadium, the club has announced.
The club have unveiled plans for a €600 million project, known
officially as "Nou Espai Barça," which seeks to improve the club's
entire campus.
This will include refurbishment to their main stadium and the
rebuilding of the Palau Blaugrana, which is the nearby arena owned by
the club and is used for basketball and handball.
The project will also see the addition of an ice skating rink, new
offices, 5,000 parking spaces and improvements to the outdoor space
surrounding the facilities.
Populous are in the running for construction to the main stadium with
companies such as BIG and HKS. The stadium will see an addition of
6,000 seats which will bring the total capacity to around 105,000.
The shortlisted 'teams' will be given the technical information for
the design and will have until early December to complete and submit
their designs for the Camp Nou.
Construction of the Nou Espai Barça project is scheduled to begin in 2017, with a completion date scheduled for 2021.
