Manchester venue in line for major overhaul
ISG has been awarded a 拢21m deal to revamp the country鈥檚 National Cycling Centre in Manchester.
The firm, which built the 2012 velodrome for that year鈥檚 London Olympics, will carry out the work for a number of groups including the city council, British Cycling and the venue鈥檚 operator GLL.
The 3,500-capacity venue was opened in 1994 with ISG renewing the track twice in the past 15 years.
ISG鈥檚 latest deal will see it rip out legacy building services and replace them with more up-to-date equipment such as air source heat pumps and LED lighting while the fabric of the building will also be upgraded. M&E contractor is Briggs & Forrester.
The venue is close to Manchester City鈥檚 home and is part of the wider Sportcity complex. It has hosted multiple events since it opened and was the setting for Chris Boardman鈥檚 successful world hour record rides in 1996 and 2000.
