The academy, which is due to begin construction on site in summer 2004, will see Chelsea’s professional training ground relocating to a state-of-the art new facility at the Imperial College Ground in Surrey.
Said AFL’s John Roberts: “AFL has worked with the planning considerations and local environment to design a building which both complements the existing buildings nearby and provides a practical space for Chelsea’s players to train. We have a long-standing relationship with Chelsea which has seen us designing both the West Stand and the North East Infill – this latest building will add another landmark sports project to our portfolio and a superb new facility to Chelsea FC’s estates.”
