Future Plans (Phase 2)

 

 

 

As part of a feasibility study commissioned by Biggar Theatre Workshop and funded by the Rural Community Heritage Fund, Richard Murphy Architects have been asked to look at a redesign of the Corn Exchange (Phase 2)

 

They were briefed to:

 

1. Look at the whole building and assume the complete ground floor area is able to be reconfigured (i.e. in­clude public toilets, wine store and dark room).

2. Continue to provide the same public WC provision and allow the WCs to act independently of the theatre when the theatre is closed.
3. Attempt to give the activities of the building some external presence.
4. Provide the same number of seats (no need for any dramatic increase) but as collapsible seating with a sprung floor beneath.
5. Make the building fully disabled accessible.
6. Allow actors direct access to the stage.
7. Allow for enough extra rooms for the building to be as flexible and attractive as possible for letting to other organisations or as a small conference venue.
