Holmes Miller reveal proposals for all-electric Stadium + Event Campus

Holmes Miller has been commissioned by Dundee Football Club to design a Stadium and Event Campus at Campderdown, in the North of Dundee. Net zero design underpins the masterplan, which will promote the reduction of both embodied and operational carbon through building specification, construction and operation.

A multi-functional 12,500 capacity stadium lies at the heart of a scheme which also features a 140 Bedroom hotel, Commercial space, City Crematorium and an EV Hub.

The Stadium features 1500 square feet conference centre, 250 capacity pavilion, 300 capacity beerhall, and is capable of hosting concerts of up to 20,000 people. A 2,400 capacity safe standing tribune and hi-res video screens will appeal to Dundee FC fans, alongside heritage elements that capture the spirit of Dens Park and Dundee fan culture.

In line with FIFA’s Green Goals initiative and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, the carbon-smart stadium is designed to minimise embodied and operational carbon. Sustainable features include low energy LED floodlights and screens, photovoltaic panels, natural ventilation, 100% recyclable seating, a ‘green roof’ to promote biodiversity, and rainwater re-harvesting

To encourage green travel, the new destination will be served by a dedicated e-bus terminal, cycle hub and EV charging facilities, all set within high-quality public realm. The use of soft landscaping and tree-planting will ensure pedestrian and parking areas are attractive.
