The Works
The proposed redevelopment will increase usable floor space by over 35%, mostly by rearranging spaces within the existing building envelope.
A new entrance extension will create level access into the centre and provide a dedicated foyer-reception area.
The internal circulation will be reconfigured to make all areas of the centre accessible to the community and to provide new accessible sanitary accommodation on all floors.
The building will be completely insulated externally using natural materials and clad in European Larch weatherboarding or cement rendering.
New mechanical, plumbing and electrical services will be installed incorporating solar photovoltaic and ground heat pump technology.
