Redevelopment
We are excited about this one, working together with Kala Sangam to redevelop a magnificent building ready for Bradford’s City of Culture in 2025.
The plans will see the company take over the ground of the iconic building, putting in a new theatre, creating five new studio spaces, opening up a new prominent, easy to find front entrance and installing a new lift to give access to all floors.
Work begins in May 2024 and will be completed by the summer of 2025 as a major milestone in the City of Culture programme for Bradford.
Richard Walsh, Director at Halliday Clark said, “Halliday Clark Architects are delighted to be contributing a modern chapter to the rich history of this building, creating healthy shared spaces and functions which speak for our time, and the people who will use them. The redevelopment at Kala Sangam will enhance connections, both literal and symbolic strengthening links to the city and the Cathedral Conservation area as well as with the community, and our shared culture and heritage.”
“The major renovation of St Peter’s House will transform this Grade II listed building into a fully accessible, state-of-the-art centre. A new entrance foyer with feature staircase will be created, along with a 170-capacity theatre, five dance studios and a permanent home for Bradford Community Broadcasting BCB Radio. Having worked on the project since its inception, we are thrilled to be on site and look forward to the building re-opening in 2025.” Eleanor Crosbie, Architect
