The third phase of improvements to the All England Lawn Tennis Club, Wimbledon included a new Court No. 2 for 5,000 spectators and new facilities for junior tennis players.

We prepared the largest elements of the Club's 1993 masterplan, with the new No.1 Court, the Millennium Building, and improvements to Centre Court. Seating capacity increased for the Championships using terraced tiers which can be dismantled after events.

This project was underpinned by our masterplan, which reorganised the entire championship site to improve facilities while retaining the spirit of ‘tennis in an English garden’. We treated the site as a country estate, with Wimbledon's Centre Court as the manor house and surrounding courts as formal gardens. Our new facilities include a new 11,000-seat No 1 Court, a broadcast centre and two-lane road tunnel.
