Manchester Central Convention Complex

The £28.5 million redevelopment at Manchester’s iconic meeting place, Manchester Central Convention Complex, has now moved into its final phase.

The first phase of the impressive redevelopment programme – the creation of a new foyer area – was completed on schedule in November 2008. The addition of Charter Foyer has provided a new entranceway to the convention complex and increased flexibility within the Manchester Central site. The second phase of the redevelopment programme, which was completed towards the end of 2009, included a new and extended foyer area to the iconic Grade ll listed Central Hall.

The third phase of the redevelopment programme, which is now underway, is focussed on the rear of the building and will include the addition of new event spaces, and the redevelopment of existing rooms.

The improvement of public realm and spaces to the rear of the complex are integral to the overall improvement of the Civic Quarter.

Designed by the award-winning Manchester-based architects, Stephenson Bell, the completed redevelopment will be sympathetic to the Grade II listed frontage of what was once the city’s historic Central Railway Station.
