Twickenham – the home of English rugby – is embarking on a redevelopment plan which will see the transformation of its east stand.
The work will double the available space on the east stand, creating an additional 10,750sq m (115,712sq ft) to facilitate improvements to existing hospitality areas.
KSS Architects have been selected to modernise the exterior of the stand as part of the project, although the existing bowl infrastructure and seating will not be altered.
The Rugby Football Union (RFU) is funding the project, although the governing body declined to comment on the financial specifics of the work. According to an RFU spokesperson, every penny generated as a result of the improvement works will be ploughed back into rugby, from the grassroots to elite level.
A public consultation for local residents, businesses and other stakeholders was held on 31 May, with a second session to follow on 4 June. Subject to planning permission, the RFU expects the work to be completed by autumn 2018.
