Birmingham City Football Club to use hospital bricks for new stadium
Summary

Birmingham City Football Club has acquired one million restored bricks from the former City Hospital for their upcoming Powerhouse stadium. The bricks will be part of the twelve chimney-style towers planned for the new stadium in the Sports Quarter. This initiative is part of a larger regeneration project, aimed at preserving links between the city's industrial past and its future developments. The City Hospital, which closed in 2024 after 130 years of service, originally opened in the late 19th Century. The reuse of these bricks marks a significant step for Birmingham's ongoing transformation.
