The Brit Oval Cricket Ground
The redevelopment of the Oval Cricket Ground was completed on budget and
on time.
The £23 million project in Kennington, South London for Surrey County
Cricket Club involved the demolition of the existing stands at the Vauxhall
End and replacement with a Stand over 4 levels and a main curved roof,
including open air terraces and a living screen running around the façade
of the Stand, resulting in an increase in ground capacity from 18,500
to 23,000.

Following a concept design by HOK SVE, The Miller Partnership and their
design team were appointed by Surrey County Cricket Club during 2003 to
develop the detail design, interior design and external spaces for the
Vauxhall End of the Oval Cricket Ground.
The Project was programmed into two construction phases. Phase 1 consisted
of: demolition of the existing stands, installing piles, concrete sub-structure,
erecting steelwork frame and erecting lower seating decks. This phase
was completed on time to allow a temporary handover for a limited season
of international cricket matches during the Summer of 2004. Phase 2 consisted
of: completing the superstructure, M&E services, fitting out and external
works.
The Project was handed over during June 2005 and has just completed a
season of County and International cricket matches. Having hosted the
first test match between England and Australia in 1880, the Project was
completed on time to hold the final and victorious Ashes test match between
England and Australia.
