Rushcliffe Arena

Via provided a range of options and budget prices to meet the clients brief. Once the preferred option was selected and approved by Rushcliffe, Via were appointed to deliver the detailed design and project management for the scheme. The project team was led by David Collins in the Environmental Management & Design Team with support from Andrew Gregory and Steve Marston who assisted with the detailed design of the car park works. They prepared all the contract drawings with support from Barbara Colaceci and Kate Howard as well as tender and contract documentation with support from Mohammed Haque. Electrical Design support was also provided by Robert Flaxman in the Signals and Lighting Design team. Via project managed the works throughout the construction phase including supervision of works on site, chairing progress meetings and authorising interim payments in accordance with the contract.  The site works commenced in June 2018 with substantial completion of the new car park in August 2018 (Phase 1) and the car park alterations in Sept 2018 (Phase 2). The team also designed a new cycleway (Phase 3) to the north of the Arena which opened to the public in November 2018; linking existing cycleway infrastructure on Collington Way to the west of the Arena complex. This was also delivered as part of the same contract and provides significantly improved access not only to the Arena itself, but also to the wider cycleway network.
