en.Wedoany.com Reported - Kingscote Construction, a subsidiary of Morrisroe, has disclosed further details of the £100 million North Stand redevelopment project for Aston Villa. The project marks the Hertfordshire-based Morrisroe's expansion into general contracting, with the company previously stating that 40% of the work will be carried out by in-house firms, including Morrisroe Demolition, GSS Piling, and Piper Joinery.

The steel structure subcontract is handled by J&D Pierce, while the mechanical and electrical (M&E) subcontract is undertaken by King & Moffatt Building Services. Originally scheduled for completion by the end of next year, the latest plan has been adjusted to finish before the start of the 2027/28 football season; the stadium will host matches for Euro 2028 the following summer.

Designed by Grimshaw, the scheme aims to increase the capacity of the Europa League winners' home ground from the current 42,500 to over 50,000. The North Stand capacity will rise from 6,537 to 12,516 seats, with other works including 500 square meters of team facilities (such as new changing rooms) and upgraded hospitality areas.

The broader team for the Villa Park expansion project includes cost consultant Core Five, town planning and transport consultant WSP, structural engineer David Smith Associates, and M&E engineer ME Engineers. The last major project at Villa Park was Christian & Nielsen's redevelopment of the Trinity Road Stand in 2000, while the North Stand, built in 1977, is currently the oldest stand in the stadium.
