This month’s cover story is the redevelopment of the historic Lord’s Cricket Ground, where two new steel-framed stands are being built. When complete, the Compton and Edrich stands will offer accommodation for around 11,600 spectators.

A steel framing solution is ensuring that theatre is returning to Brixton, where Lambeth Council is constructing the Ovalhouse. Structural steelwork is providing the scheme with its vital long-span internal spaces.

Also in south London, a new church and residential complex is being developed in Wimbledon. The five-storey steel frame consists of three upper floors of apartments, sitting above a large congregational space and church meeting rooms.

The London School of Economics is continuing its overhaul of its campus with the construction of the flagship Marshall Building. Two large tree-like steel structures are providing the building with open plan areas, while maintaining the desired architectural vision.

Adjacent to Manchester Airport, Icon Industrial is expanding its strategically-located logistics park with the construction of two steel-framed BREEAM ‘Very Good’ distribution centres.

NSC also features a headline sponsor article from Jamestown, industry news, a technical article and advisory desk from the Steel Construction Institute, and codes and standards updates.
