UK: New Street station concourse soon to be flooded with natural light as new roof is completed

Birmingham The final piece of Birmingham New Street station’s new atrium roof covering was put into place on 16 September 2014, marking another important milestone in the station’s redevelopment.

Made from the same high-tech material as the Eden Project in Cornwall and the Allianz Arena in Munich, the translucent roof covering will allow natural light to stream down through the atrium onto the huge new concourse below – but not before demolition experts remove around 6,000 tonnes of concrete over two floors of the old Pallasades shopping centre.
