Concourses

A good practice guide to the design and management of concourses, related facilities and support accommodation at sports grounds.

Our Concourses guidance sets out clearly the factors which will influence the size and layout of a well designed concourse.

It provides advice on how floor space factors will depend on the client brief and development of the architectural design, capital cost, potential revenue and the need to consider not only the initial layout and usage, but also the long term life of the stadium.

Purchase Concourses

Concourses is only available in a printed edition.
