The official handover of Everton Stadium to the Club has now taken place, ending the build phase of the iconic new structure on the Liverpool waterfront.
Everton’s new Executive Chairman, Marc Watts, and Interim CEO, Colin Chong, were joined by Laing O’Rourke Project Director, Gareth Jacques, and other dignitaries at a ceremonial handover from the contractor who have delivered the construction of the project on schedule.
Having now taken possession of the site, three-and-a-half-years after the commencement of construction, the Club will oversee a six-month fit-out phase that is scheduled to commence in the New Year. That will include interior design specialists, tradesmen and women and audio-visual engineers completing the stadium’s many bars, restaurants and experiences, as well as retail spaces, delivering a modern and unique new home for Everton.
Laing O’Rourke will retain a presence at Everton Stadium in the early months of 2025, as they ensure the new building meets required quality standards and specifications.
