dbo:abstract
  • Le Manchester Central Convention Complex (communément appelé Manchester Central) est un centre d'exposition et de conférence à Manchester, en Angleterre. Le bâtiment a été autrefois l'ancienne gare de Manchester Central. Il a conservé son toit voûté distinctif avec une envergure de 64 mètres - la deuxième plus grande envergure de toit de gare au Royaume-Uni et a obtenu le statut de bâtiment classé Grade II * en 1963. Après avoir servi 89 ans comme terminus ferroviaire, il a fermé ses portes aux passagers en mai 1969. Il a été rénové pour devenir un centre d'exposition anciennement connu sous le nom de G-Mex Centre en 1982 pendant lequel il a été le principal lieu de concerts de musique de Manchester jusqu'à la construction de la Manchester Arena. Après sa rénovation en 2007, le lieu a repris son ancien nom de Manchester Central. En 2020, à l'exemple de l'hôpital chinois de Fangcang, le complexe est devenu un hôpital de campagne temporaire pour les patients atteints de covid en état de santé critique. Il a alors fait partie du réseau des hôpitaux temporaires du NHS Nightingale Hospitals. (fr)
