NCC Refurbishment Project in manchester

Manchester City Council is planning to undertake a programme of refurbishment of the Velodrome arena and concourse at the National Cycling Centre, in order to modernise the facility and to enable it to continue to meet the needs of the community and elite track cycling programmes for the next 20 years.
 
Due to the comprehensive extent of the planned works, it will be necessary to close the Velodrome arena during the coming winter until the summer of 2022.
 
Both the track and track centre will be affected by this closure, as will the meeting rooms in the Velodrome building. The Velopark Café will also be closing and will be relocated to a new space within the main concourse.
 
If you would like to know more information and what this will mean for you, we would like to invite you to come along to one of our public information sessions. See below for further details and plans for the refurbishment. 

The upgrade works will include many areas of the Velodrome building and concourse including:
 
- Replacement of the seating throughout the Velodrome plus an increase to capacity
- Replacement of the track barrier including a new glazed design
- New sports court floor in the track centre
- New track timing, photo-finish and digital display board
- New café area within the main concourse
- Refurbishment of changing rooms and toilets, including the addition of a Changing Places facility
- New entrance doors
 
 
The project will also include a range of mechanical and electrical works and will introduce new sustainable technologies designed to reduce carbon emissions and to provide a more modern and efficient building in the long term. This includes:
 
- A full replacement of all of the building mechanical, electrical and plumbing services including lighting and ventilation
- Air source heat pumps to de-carbonise the facility
- Re-roofing of the single ply roof area
- Construction of a new external plant room.
 

NATIONAL CYCLING CENTRE  REFURBISHMENT PROJECT
CONFIRMED CLOSURE INFORMATION
 
As you’ll be aware, Manchester City Council is undertaking a programme of refurbishment
of the Velodrome arena and concourse in order to modernise the facility and to enable it to
continue to meet the needs of the community and elite track cycling programmes for the next
20 years.
 
Due to the comprehensive extent of the planned works, it will be necessary to close the
Velodrome arena from end of day Sunday 23rd January 2022 until late August 2022.
 
The track and track centre will be affected by this closure, as will the meeting rooms on the
velodrome side of the building. The Velopark Cafe will remain closed as options for a new
location are finalised. There will be a selection of food and drink served from reception, with
seating available in the foyer.
 
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU?
 
Activities on the Velodrome track will continue as normal until the end of day Sunday 23rd
January 2022. Temporary spectator seating is available on the sports court.
BMX activity will continue to be available as normal throughout the duration of the
refurbishment project. Sessions can be booked as normal through the Better UK app or online.
 
During the closure period we’ll be running Zwift sessions online and also in centre using our
Watt Bikes. Information about theses sessions and how to book them will be posted onto the
nationalcyclingcentre.com website and our social media accounts, so like us on Facebook and
follow us on Twitter to stay up to date.
 
If you rent a bike storage hook at the centre, please can you make arrangements to take
your bike away with you on or before Sunday 23rd January 2022 as we’re unable to store
bikes during the refurbishment period. We’ll automatically extend your 12 month rental
agreement by the length of the closure period.
 
We’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for your patience and support during the
closure period. We’re confident that any short term inconvenience will be offset by the
investment which will not only vastly upgrade the Velodrome building and concourse, but
introduce a range of new sustainable technologies designed to reduce carbon emissions and
provide a more modern and efficient building in the long term.
