As previously reported, Meadowhall, the shopping centre in Yorkshire, is set to undergo a £60m refurbishment. Now, it has revealed more details about its new design.

Most significantly, the refurb will see the centre become split into four separate areas, each of which will have a different theme. The themes are:
 

  • The Arcade – at the heart of Meadowhall, this will be a fun and exciting area that will host many shows and displays throughout the year
  • The High Street – focused on families and children, with natural materials to create a light and welcoming atmosphere
  • Park Lane – the high fashion zone, sophisticated and comfortable with a comprehensive range of retailers
  • The Gallery – Featuring decorative lighting and metal panels for an industrial and slightly urban feel, this space will have plenty on offer for young adults, teenagers and children

 
The refurbishment is designed by architect BDP and is meant to revitalise the centre by updating and decluttering the malls. The centre will also focus on its green credentials and is recycling rainwater, reducing carbon emission through less energy use and was the first shopping centre to install electric car charging points. Its welcome hall will also feature a green living wall, and the centre is using materials like GRG 3D cladding, ash/beech timber cladding, and reinforced glass for the refurbishment.

Darren Pearce, Meadowhall Centre Director, said: “We are excited with the progress of the build so far, we’ve got some fantastic design features and look forward to revealing the new space which will help to accommodate Meadowhall’s evolution.  

“With such strong demand from leading brands, the new façade of the malls will reflect Meadowhall’s leading retail position.  The project has also given us the opportunity to work with local businesses to ensure materials sourced are the best option environmentally, without compromising on design.”
