Everton's striking new stadium will be clad in over half a million bricks designed to seamlessly integrate the huge structure with its dockside setting.
Construction work at Bramley Moore Dock has been gathering pace across the year, with all four sides of the forthcoming arena visible and a first installation of 713 exterior brick façade panels is now in place.
Each panel is computer-designed in a 3D environment before being manufactured from real bricks under carefully monitored factory conditions. Once hung to make up the four exterior walls of Everton’s new home, the end result will be a jaw-dropping, modern-looking blend of handmade craftsmanship and modern technologies.
