RE-UPHOLSTERY
CHARITY EXPANDS INTO CITY CENTRE Creative Arts Development Space (CADS) are adding a further two new locations to the four buildings it runs. These two new buildings are in the city centre and have been provided through the city council and a private landlord with the aim of stimulating temporary use of empty space. The first new building, taken on in partnership with re-generation social enterprise Common People, is at 18-22 Union St (a former council department) and includes four floors of ex-office and retail space. The Union Street
location also houses a University of Sheffield project and an office for local charity Roundabout who provide short term accommodation for young homeless people. A second space in the Cultural Industries Quarters (CIQ) is expected to be confirmed later this month. Both of these buildings are earmarked for development in the future but in the short term they will provide studios, a co-working hub and exhibition space to the creative entrepreneurs of Sheffield. The long term social aim of this project is to allow Sheffield people
with an idea to have easy access to space with as little barriers to entry as possible. Once the burden of excessive paperwork and large investment is removed, a much greater number of people will be given the opportunity to start something new. The goal is to bring life into empty buildings . The concept behind this project is about utilising ‘meanwhile space’. This idea is to use spaces in the short term as they await redevelopment. This is a global movement that incorporates retail start-ups, hotdesking and short term lets.
One place where this concept has been particularly successful for redevelopment is Newcastle, Australia (another ex-industrial steel town). From May 11th – 18th Sheffield is being visited by Marcus Westbury from Newcastle who is giving talks to the public and liaising
with Sheffield City Council and various studio providers to assist Sheffield in its redevelopment. Marcus is advising the city on how to best create a blueprint for Sheffield redevelopment with a specific focus on retail in the city centre where 18% of shops are currently empty.
