*************
Manchester Central (Formerly known as the GMEX centre and Manchester International Conference Centre (MICC)) is an exhibition and conference centre built in and around the former Manchester Central railway station in Manchester, North West England. The building was granted Grade I listed building status in 1963, but has since been downgraded to Grade II* status[1].
In 1982 construction work undertaken by Alfred McAlpine[3] commenced to convert the former railway station into an exhibition centre, and the G-Mex opened in 1986.[4] G-Mex stood for the "Greater Manchester Exhibition Centre".[5]
In 2001 the Manchester International Convention Centre (MICC) was added to the complex, with an 804-seat auditorium plus breakout rooms and Great Northern Hall. During 2005 the company running the G-MEX and MICC was bought by Manchester City Council.
In January 2007 the venue was rebranded as Manchester Central, evoking the memory of the former Manchester Central railway station.[6][7]
The building is currently undergoing redevelopment. The early-Eighties smoked glass front foyer has been demolished and is being replaced with an extended glass structure to house a restaurant.[2] An additional entrance foyer and corporate hospitality suites are being constructed on the north side of the building.[8]
