Harrow Council wins £760,000 from the Mayor of London’s Good Growth Fund and the local authority will contribute £1m for new buildings for arts, culture and leisure.
Architects have now begun working on new designs, which will not only improve the complex of buildings on the site, but also add extra space for everything from orchestras to yoga. The first new learning space will be available from Autumn this year, with new artist studios following in 2020.
Cllr Keith Ferry, portfolio holder for Business, Planning and Regeneration said, “It wasn’t long ago that the Arts Centre faced an uncertain future – but we take great pride in saying those days are long behind us.
But this investment means jobs and places for our small cultural industries to grow and thrive. Economic development and cultural wealth go hand-in-hand at the HAC, and that’s something we can all believe in.” he finished.
