Work on the redevelopment of the historic Trent Bridge Pavilion has reached a major milestone as the completion of the steel frame reveals the silhouette of a building that will shape a step-change in facilities for members and players alike.<\/p>\n

With completion expected in the summer of 2026, work continues at pace to construct the frame, walls, floors and roofing before attention turns to the interior fit-out.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis project was first conceptualised by staff and committee members many years ago, but it\u2019s the players and members of today who will feel the leap forward when we open the doors,\u201d said Nottinghamshire\u2019s Interim Chief Executive Michael Temple.<\/p>\n

\u201cExpectations had progressed way beyond what the original building was capable of delivering, and we\u2019ve worked incredibly hard to design and build every detail that\u2019s required to service men\u2019s and women\u2019s teams equitably, to host the biggest major matches and to raise the matchday experience for our members.<\/p>\n

\u201cModernisation was required, but we also want to ensure that our heritage and the feeling of the Trent Bridge Pavilion is retained. Our architects, main contractor and interior designer are central to that and they have taken the brief from the club to plan a finished product of which I\u2019m sure anyone that has any association with Trent Bridge will be incredibly proud.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In addition to four pitch-facing dressing rooms, the Pavilion will also feature a\u00a0sympathetically-remodelled Long Room and members\u2019 bar with a modern Victorian theme, heritage displays in a new level-access members\u2019 entrance,\u00a0with\u00a0lifts to all floors and a host of facilities required by ECB standards.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been a huge honour working on a building\u00a0of\u00a0this prestige and that hasn\u2019t been lost on\u00a0any of us\u00a0 working on the\u00a0scheme,\u00a0in particular\u00a0those key individuals amongst the consultants, contractors, sub-contractors and advisers\u00a0who\u00a0have poured so much in to the project,\u201d said Matthew Letts of principal architects Letts Wheeler.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAs architects, it\u2019s great to see plans coming off the page\u00a0and turning\u00a0into bricks and mortar, but the biggest satisfaction we\u2019ll get is when we see players and members\u00a0enjoying the use of\u00a0the Pavilion\u00a0and\u00a0getting so much more out of it.<\/p>\n

“There\u2019s\u00a0enormous\u00a0interest in the building, and the vlub have done a remarkable job in accommodating everyone elsewhere in the ground while the works continue, but it will be a proud moment when we see the ribbon being cut.\u201d<\/p>\n

Main contractors A&S won a competitive tender process to earn the right to lead the construction of the building, with its changing shape evident to those who have visited Trent Bridge since the championship-winning celebrations of September.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the summer, there was a lot of demolition work that had to happen before we began to rise out of the ground and get to the position we\u2019re in today where anyone walking past the site can see the true elevation of this extension,\u201d said\u00a0A&S\u00a0Enterprises Ltd\u00a0Commercial Director Simon Kerry.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs with any project involving a building where elements of restoration are required, it\u2019s only when you peel back the plaster that you see the true fabric of the place, and we\u2019ve had to work to overcome some unexpected discoveries. But it\u2019s part of the process and it\u2019s been great to get to the point where the steel is in place, the concrete floors have been poured and we\u2019re able to get multiple teams of tradespeople working concurrently.\u201d<\/p>\n

The club have committed to share further updates on the progress of the build in the new year.<\/p>\n
