Project overview
Part of Manchester City’s Etihad campus, the Co-Op live arena is the largest indoor arena in Europe. Easy to use, open cycle parking is essential for large events, and our 2ParkUp bike rack is perfect for satisfying requirements
As part of a major sustainability push, cycle parking was an important consideration in planning and building the arena. Having a green roof further added to the environmental benefits of cycle parking.
Using our open access canopy and two-tier racks, we were able to design 280 covered and weather-proof cycle parking spaces. A sedum roof further adds to the sustainability credentials, adding some welcome greenery to the concrete car park.
Cycling to major events like music concerts is great for the environment and helps reduce congestion in the city. It’s high quality cycle parking that enables this.
Objectives

It would have been so easy to have a bike store and bin shed that did what they were supposed to, but weren’t so great to look at. Ours manage to do their job but also look fantastic too. The design and wooden cladding blend wonderfully into the natural surroundings and link to our lovely new building."
The new bike hub is an excellent addition to the town. Not only will it help promote the benefits of cycling, but it will also help to establish the town as a destination, promoting its big open spaces, access to the river, canal, and other active travel routes."
