New Wortley Community Centre; Winning Entry, 2014
/ NEW WORTLEY
New Wortley Community Centre is in urgent need of additional space. The proposal for a new multi-purpose building will contain community led commercial functions (café/launderette/shop and meeting room) that will enable the centre to expand its reach and sustain itself in the future. The existing building will be transformed into a function hall.
The project has developed following Vahagn Mkrtchyanâ??s winning design for the in house design competition in 2010. With the assistance of students undertaking community consultation the Stage 2 Reaching Communities Big Lottery application was submitted in October 2013. A decision on capital funding is expected imminently and if successful our first substantial building will be completed in 2015.
