The remodelled stadium is designed such that its can be built with minimal disruption FCB normal football activity.
The following are the main strategic objectives for the construction methodology:
• Avoid disruption to normal FC Barcelona’s football activity. All matches can be
played as usual.
• The stadium’s overall spectator seating capacity suffers no reduction during
the works.
• The new services road tunnel around the stadium is built around the outside of the
existing stadium without affecting the existing structure.
• Primary new vertical circulation cores to the enlarged Upper Tier are built around
the outside of the existing stadium.
• Roof construction can progress throughout the football seasons. Work would take place
during the time between programmed matches and the work made safe and secure prior to each match.
• No temporary towers are required on the arena or over the seating bowl for the roof
construction.
• The existing roof over the Tribuna can remain in position until the new stadium roof
is completed over the west stand.
• The stadium remains open to visitors at all times. The stadium tour route may be
diverted at some times according to works phasing.
