Renovation of the Warner Stand at Lord’s to Include BCL Panels

Work has begun on the rebuild of the Warner Stand at the Lord’s Cricket Ground, home of the Marylebone Cricket Club. BCL Timber Projects have been selected by project architects Populous and main contractors BAM to be part of the transformation.

The new look stand will be using 1,000 sqm of BCL acoustic wood panels.  The panels are made with European Oak slats, 44mm x 19mm with a clear intumescent factory-applied, class 0 ssf lacquer coating. The system features a bespoke ‘egg & bacon’ coloured backing fabric for the internal timber slat wall panels, the famous colours of the MCC. 

The BCL project in the Warner Stand includes both internal and external BCL wooden slatted panels. It will take 6 weeks to complete and cost £250,000. The project will be finished in February 2017, with overall completion of the prestigious new stand due in April 2017. 

The capacity of the new stand will be 2,656 with many less restricted viewing seats and more amenities including three bars and a restaurant, all with greatly improved access.
