Part of the University of Warwick campus, Warwick Arts Centre began to temporarily close its doors in 2017 as part of a radical transformation, the largest in its 47 year history. Designed by Ellis Williams Architects, with Bond Bryan as delivery architect, and project managed by Turner and Townsend, despite the pandemic, the construction work by Willmott Dixon completed last week (week beginning 21st June 2021). The arts complex is now officially handed back to the University of Warwick to prepare for a fantastic new season starting in October in Coventry's year as UK City of Culture
The result is an exciting, modern and accessible new space which combines refurbished and upgraded pre-existing spaces with new areas. These include a spacious and more welcoming foyer, three new cinemas (complete with high-end digital projection and sound), a repositioned Mead Gallery, and a new restaurant.
