FYI the McLaren Construction video which was removed is back online for those that were interested 

 

This is absolutely mental. There will be players that are flown in for discussions that will see this and want to sign immediately. The size and scale of the academy is truly staggering. Hard to believe this will belong to Leicester City!

Not to nerd the place out too much, but it looks like a reclaimed Jawa Sandcrawler.

I think it has a "we mean business" and a "wow factor" when world class players come for their medicals.

[Saxondale]

That looks so, so impressive. I love the bronzey finish on the building.

Airplane hanger looks nice.

The other buildings remind me of USSR State Architecture. Authoritarian. Enough brown already.

I reckon it'll be tarted up in a few years with a white/blue cladding.

It's not even finished yet you moron. 

Since when does a bit of grass and 'landscaping' physically change the structure and appearance of a building? Moron.

I'm sure it will look fine once they do the landscaping and a few hundred trees get planted and grow in.

Don't know what the facade is made of but hope it is something that ages and has a more inconsistent character.

Anything to take some of the stark quality away. Its just my preference for contrast and balance. I'm an artist go figure.

Absolutely no chance. It looks really high quality. Putting cladding on it would be like painting a Lambo with rattle cans.

Has a kind of Alpine character doesn't it? Looks like it belongs in the Alps. Just need some mountains.

Yes far too much bronze/gold/brown panelling. I understand it's probably got to be in keeping with the landscape, same reason the indoor pitch has a part grass roof but you'd hardly know what our club colours were from these images. Obviously going for the subtle look. Hopefully the interior will be more blue, looks incredible either way.

Meh, looks the same as Southampton's. They would have never got permission to build a bright blue building in the middle of the Leicestershire countryside.

[TrentFox]

It looks nothing like Southampton’s place!?? 🤷‍♂️

 HATE IT SO MUCH JUST WANT THE OLD PLACE BACK ASAP

Southampton?

When the U23s play there, members should be allowed to play a round of golf, watch the match and have dinner afterwards to round things off 😊

I mean it's not a million miles away is it when we're talking about the colour.

 

It looks fine to me.

Time to claim the power of Utinni when it comes to signing players...  (Yes, I'm a nerd - I used to collect SWCCG cards, too, so I know what Utinni means )

Oh yeah, colour wise. I guess that's the trend nowadays but it does look good.

I think you'll find it will change the look of the building significantly. Moron

Now we're talking. The beauty of inconsistency.

PS not trying to besmirch the club. Just trying to turn this into a discussion of aesthetics.

I think the bars on the windows of theirs makes it look like a low security correctional facility
