Take A Bow Opportunity Centre
Extension and refurbishment of a community centre
O’DonnellBrown has completed a feasibility study for the refurbishment of New Farm Loch Community Centre for Take A Bow Development Trust, an organisation that provides musical theatre classes for young people from Kilmarnock and surrounding areas. The project will create a modern facility that responds to the needs of the community.
The existing building, constructed in the early 1970s, now requires major refurbishment to repair and upgrade it, as well as improving its energy efficiency. The one- and two-storey structure comprises a main assembly hall, studio space, ancillary rooms, along with toilets, main reception, café bar area and small conference suite. Feedback from community consultation shows support for improvements to the centre, with the majority noting the need for a new changing area.
Our scheme is wide-ranging and includes a new changing area, a new entrance, improved connections within the building, the creation of flexible social spaces, as well as vital repairs to the building, including new cladding, insulation and roof.
