Cambridge United reveals KSS designs for multi-use stadium
Cambridge United Football Club has revealed plans to build a new multi-use, sustainable stadium, designed by KSS Architects.
The club is working with property consultancy Stace – which worked on the development of Tottenham Hotspur’s new stadium – on proposals to build the 12,000-capacity venue on greenbelt land.
It is targeting a "sustainable design for a sustainable location", with the ability to host concerts, conferences and extended community activities, as well as football matches.
The plans also include establishing a medical centre and flexibility to increase the initial 12,000 capacity if needed.
"The scheme remains in its early stages, would be located on greenbelt land and plans for funding the development of the stadium are not arranged," the club said in a statement.
"However the scheme has a number of factors in its favour and primarily fits within wider plans to improve transport across the city of Cambridge, including the introduction of a new metro system that would see both the stadium and a re-located Park and Ride station as a key destination for a Cambridge east line."
Other KSS projects include the AFC Wimbledon stadium and the Liverpool FC academy.
