Silverstone Redvelopment

The proposed plans to redevelop Silverstone were released yesterday. BRDC announced the regeneration of the old track and facilities will be funded by the selling of nearly 230 acres of land.

The new stadium designed by HOK is the first stage in making Silverstone more sustainable, with facilities provided in the new building to enable it to plug into a combined heat and power system that is currently being considered for the whole site

The Pit and Paddock complex is the first proposal in a 10-year programme that will see a new manufacturer test centre, business park, extreme sport and leisure complex, two hotels, a new university campus, a `Welcome Centre' and some new homes near the circuit. Taken together, the redevelopment will deliver a world-class venue for motorsport, education and high technology development that will ensure the UK remains at the forefront of the motorsport industry and maintains its position as a major regional and national employer.
