The opportunity
A durable centre with a clearer welcome
The proposals bring together essential building work and carefully considered improvements to reception, communal spaces, offices, welfare facilities and the external setting.
The images show the intended character and standard. They are concept images rather than final construction drawings, allowing practical specifications and cost-effective alternatives to be developed with the appointed professionals.
