Synergy Batting Well at Sussex County Cricket Club
Things are taking shape nicely down at The PROBIZ County Ground of Sussex-by the-Sea at Hove. Synergy have been project and cost managing the £5.5 million Phase 2 Ground redevelopment, which has taken place in just under 26 weeks.
The Victorian Pavilion has had a virtual re-build following the discovery and rectification of some major timber decay and damp problems. The Long Room and Hospitality facilities within the Pavilion have been magnificently restored and now accommodate two new restaurant areas, kitchens, passenger lifts and new toilets. The vaulted undercroft to the Pavilion – once the groundsmen’s store - is now the home of Sussex’s Cricket Museum – a fitting home for the collection of the oldest County Cricket Club in England.
The ground development includes the construction of two new stands; the South Stand, accommodating the PROBIZ Media Centre for broadcasters, together with the Ground Control Room and a physiotherapy centre; and the South-West Stand which will provide fantastic views of the cricket for approximately 2,000 spectators. Its undercroft, which is due to be fitted out by the end of September 2011, will house a new club shop and reception, food and beverage outlet and additional toilet facilities.
At the end of March 2011, Synergy oversaw the completion of an extension to the existing “Farnrise Indoor School” at the Hove ground. This facility includes a 20 piece fitness Gym and an ‘endless pool’ for fitness training and physio treatment, along with male and female public toilets.
Sir Elton John has been booked to open the new Ground Facilities at a grand out-door concert at the Ground on 26th June 2011 - no pressure to complete on time then!
Synergy are also project managers to MCC for the Masterplan “Vision for Lord’s” at Lord’s Cricket Ground, London, up to the submission of a planning application - working with Architects, Herzog & de Meuron.
