There has been ongoing speculation about Celtic’s plans to upgrade their Barrowfield facility. Currently, the site serves as the training ground for the Women’s team, but it appears that significant development is on the horizon.
Glasgow-based architectural firm Holmes Miller has unveiled on their website that the Scottish champions are poised to revamp Barrowfield. While the timeline and budget for the project remain undisclosed, the firm has shared images of the proposed site – and it’s quite impressive.
At present, Barrowfield consists of only one or two pitches. However, the newly released images reveal that Celtic intends to add several new pitches to the facility, as well as an indoor complex featuring a full-sized football field.
This indoor park, detailed further on the Holmes Miller website, will prove invaluable during the winter months when outdoor conditions become challenging.
The upgraded facility will also include a state-of-the-art gym and changing rooms, providing a modern and well-equipped training environment for the Women’s team that currently uses the site.
This is thought to be to facilitate the Youth academy as well as the Women’s team.
The redevelopment timeline of Barrowfield’s redevelopment is still uncertain, but there is no doubt that the upgrade is long overdue. It is heartening to see the club investing in the facility, which has been neglected recently.
