The existing 1970s ancillary buildings were long overdue for some attention. As well as needing remedial work to fix problems (such as leaks to the roof!), all our facilities needed to be refreshed and brought up to date.
So this major boost to our buildings included:
- enhanced entrance/gathering space/café, for anyone to come and meet friends
- upgraded kitchen and toilets
- refurbished internal spaces, including the hall and meeting rooms
- repaired roofs and better skylights, with two new ones to the vestibule
- more usable storage spaces
- double-glazed windows and doors, and insulated walls and ceilings
(If you want to see how the work progressed through the various stages, go to the News updates below.)
As a result of all the changes, our buildings are more comfortable, appealing and welcoming. This is now a building that says ‘Welcome’, ‘We are open’, ‘Come on in’ to the whole community.
