I didn't really have a good comparison for the size so measured up the sheffield depot which is about 22,000 sq ft. This new building is 51,000 sq ft according to the article, so about 2.5x the size of the sheffield depot. That's a lot of bouldering.

Bouldering and leading, the full Olympic setup. Nice! I presume anyway since its being referred to as a Big Depot, like the Leeds one.
Still a bit gutted Steve didn't opt for the numerous cheap industrial estates around Bury but there we are...

A quick Google has found Kletterzentrum Innsbruck, DAV Munich Sud and Ratho to be contenders for biggest wall in the world. Given they're all also in Europe, anyone know the biggest in the world which this new one won't be bigger than?
Sounds cool though. Is it aiming to be a new GB base too?
In another article, it says there will be "50 parking spaces". That seems... not many.

Surely we're only a few years away from the Depot Ramsbottom
