The most dramatic element of the refurbishment is the brand new glass façade overlooking the Brindleyplace canal side development, which includes a dramatic LCD “wonderwall”, distinctive copper fins and iconic Sky needles – all of which create a dynamic sense of arrival for visitors and a focal point in the centre of Birmingham.
All areas of the Arena have been upgraded in the redevelopment – from the front of house through to the backstage – adding 5,926m² of pre/post show space into the 13,437m² of redevelopment.
