Five years ago, in October 2020, we completed construction of the new NW2 Community Space, managed by New Wolsey Theatre in Ipswich.
The building was constructed adjacent to the main theatre on the roof of the spiral car park in Theatre Square.
A lightweight timber-framed structure clad in gold coloured roof sheeting and black rubber cladding sets off the building, while to the front, a raised podium with a canopy provides covered outside space. The historic water fountain ‘bowl’ was refurbished to provide an outside activity space, and feature lighting was installed in the car park exhaust vent.
The project was done in conjunction with WGP Architects and Daniel Connal Partnership, and was commended in the The Ipswich Society Annual Awards, 2021
