The renovation is set to cost £2.5million, and is expected to be completed by January 2008, with the capacity of the venue likely to increase to around 4000 people, more than double the original size, making it larger than the Manchester Apollo, Manchesters second largest major venue, which has a capacity of 3500.

There are plans to make the building environmentally friendly, by harvesting rainwater for the toilets. It will be heated by means of "deep borehole heat conversion" and solar panels.
The final gig at the Academy before the refurbishment will be a St Patricks Day Party, featuring The Undertones, tickets are available and on sale here.
