DEVELOPMENT STAGES

In order to ensure the financial stability and function of the building in the construction period the development is delivered in stages. *More information can be found on the economics pages.

Demolition

The first stage of development is the demolition of the main entrance (nonoperational at the moment) and the snooker room. By demolishing bits that are not currently in use, the MWR maintains function while developing for the future.

Extension

The second stage of the redevelopment scheme is to extend vertically. This connects the theatre with the ground floor entrance, allowing the ground floor to close momentarily for renovation whilst the theatre is used to maintain the daily operations of the MWR.

Theatre Roof Renewal Rooftop Extension Reinvented Building Face

With the roof of the building now accessible and the ground floor reopened, the theatre is to undergo a roof conversion to allow for a vertical floor extension and to modernise an old/ unstable structure.

The fourth stage is to develop a vertical floor for the co-garden, whilst the ground floor and theatre are fully operational.

And finally, with MWR functioning at full capacity, the face of the building can be redeveloped. The building poses a strong art-deco look which is eye-catching; however, sadly the bricks are covered up, therefore, in this stage, the coating on the brick is removed to recreate the historic facade.
