Renovation works update
Works under way to install partition wall, sprung floor and underfloor heating
A new access ramp has been created for the new reception area with surface improvements to improve overall accessibility.
This former converted church - now a community arts centre and live music venue - has been a focal point for the cultural and community activities in Old Market Quarter for many years. The building renovation will help to provide a second large hall space in the upstairs of the Centre, suitable for a range of activities including dance, performance, meetings, conferences, weddings and more.
Trinity Community Arts, the charity running the Centre, are working to develop activities and youth training provision ready for the works completion, due February 2014. Once the works are completed, there will be a final celebration event, to showcase the potential uses of the newly improved space.
A new reception area is almost complete with a new heating system installed – a sprung wooden floor, lighting and drapes are due for installation in the upstairs hall space to make it suitable for activities such as conferences, dance and fitness and performance. There will also be a second, smaller, hall space suitable for IT classes, community meetings and smaller functions.
As you can see from the drawings from 1977 by architect George Ferguson show that the ambition to redevelop the Trinity Centre for decades. The 1993 annual report and 1994 annual report from TCA predecessors The New Trinity Community Association also outline plans for Trinity renovation works.
Thanks to support from funders including Big Lottery Fund and Ibstock Cory Environmental Trust, these past ambitions are now becoming a reality.
