Cox wins Olympic Park design deal

Austadiums • Wednesday 2nd November 2005

Melbourne-based Cox Architects & Planners has been chosen to design a new "state of the art" sports stadium at Olympic Park in Melbourne.

The stadium, expected to cost $100 million, will provide Melbourne with an international standard facility catering specifically for top-level rugby union, rugby league and soccer matches.

The new rectangular-pitch stadium, with 18,000 to 20,000 seats, will be home to the Melbourne Storm National Rugby League Club and soccer club Melbourne Victory.

The firm has previously designed the Rod Laver Tennis Centre and the northern stand of the MCG.

The architectural firm is also active in overseas markets, including Malaysia, where it designed components of a large urban redevelopment, Kuala Lumpur City Centre.

Its last commission in the project, the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, will be officially opened soon.

The $220 million centre, catering for more than 3000 delegates in a single seating, adjoins the Petronas twin towers, Malaysia's best known high-rise landmark.

The Cox Group has also designed an accompanying 590-room hotel that will open for trading in the new year.
