Grimsby Institute Art & Design Centre

New Art and Design Centre at the Grimsby Institute

Houlton completed the new £6m Art and Design Centre at the Grimsby Institute which features a theatre, recording studios and a dance studio. The Grimsby Institute's Block C building has been fully refurbished in the build with a 1,600 square foot extension to accommodate the new facility.

It was a 37-week build at the Nuns Corner campus and the exterior of the old Block C building was also transformed with new cladding, new windows, plumbing, electrics, carpets, ceilings and walls. The new extension is sited on a former car park area and includes a reinforced concrete piled foundation and steel framed construction covered with an efficient modern cladding system incorporating graphics, illuminated at night.
