I'd say this is finished. Hadn't seen it at night until the other night..

External facelift of NEC Halls 1, 2, 3, 3A, 4 and 5 by recladding the external elevations.

The ones facing onto Perimeter Road/ Pendigo/ RW etc look complete to me.

It's those pesky Halls 3 & 3a that are the most difficult to reach from outside because of access issues & NEC's bumped up security recently, but I'll try and find out sometime tonight as I'm due at the airport tonight. I have my ways, might have a quick gander around

Got some photos but got told off by the security manager in Resorts World for taking photos on private property without permission. He saw me take a sign outside of a restaurant!

Took these while on a break from DST heading to Resorts World.









I don't think they've done anything to the halls inside.

^^ they don't need to.

I think these external elevations are great and such a simple effective way to refresh it. That old digital clock tower could do with 4 Elonex screens showing the time on to finish this all off.

Are they purely decorative?

Birmingham Mail I've already seen the external refurb!

The NEC has unveiled details of its extensive £4.5 million transformation which will completely change the look and feel of the iconic Birmingham based venue.

The site is visited by more than 2 million people each year - with 500 separate events taking place.

It is a three year project - and the first phase – the exterior of Halls 1 and 5 – began in June.
