Redevelopment building works blog
Mon 28 April
TRACT have finished their work for now. The Stiwdio is taking shape in readiness for changeover in June, when work will begin on the main Chapter building.
We have cleared out the new keg stall under the Stiwdio steps. The new bar is being constructed as we speak.
The new Annexe (Stiwdio attic) fire escape is ready and performances and exhibitions have begun within.
Temporary bin storage has been sorted out.
We’ve added a fire alarm repeater panel to the Stiwdio doors. Brand new locks and alarms have been installed and escape route lighting is nearly ready.
The temporary Site office is being knocked into shape.
And the temporary Box Office/Gallery Shop space is being cleared out and prepared for phone and computer wiring.
Full steam ahead…
