The project comprised the refurbishment of a 1970’s community hall to create an after-school club and community training centre, including new glazing and external cladding, complete renewal of services, new WCs, kitchen and ICT facilities. A new ramp and lift were required to make the building fully accessible, with a new reception to make the entrance area secure.

The first floor hall is divided with a new acoustic screen, enabling different uses to be accommodated. A new stair and bridge provides access to the mezzanine, a previously unused space. The existing ‘language’ of timber screens is extended, using slatted timber to filter light and create privacy for the staff areas. Existing joinery was retained and repaired.
