MDA has been providing the full range of cost consultancy services on all major construction works at the All England Club for more than 25 years, starting with the modernisation of the old No.1 Court and improvements to the Centre Court debenture areas followed by the complete redevelopment of No.1 Court, and the construction of the Broadcast Centre to look after the world’s press. Then there was Millennium Building with its improved player and member facilities and the Museum Building, which houses the Club offices and interactive museum.

More recently, there was the Centre Court upgrade including the retractable roof and further improved debenture facilities, closely followed by the new No.2 Court both completed in time for the 2009 Championships.

The Spring of 2011 saw the opening of the new No.3 Court and improved debenture facilities to No.1 Court, including feature roof canopies and new bar & dining areas. In between times, there have been other lower profile projects including improvements to the outside courts, new Toilet Blocks, Gatehouses, Maintenance Facilities and Boundary Wall works.

The Club is always looking for ways to improve its product for the players, its members, the public and the worldwide TV audience. MDA is proud of our long and successful association with the Club and look forward with confidence to meeting the continued challenge of working on a restricted site, with limited construction windows, for many years to come.
