Description

The Brook Theatre is a well-used community resource as well as an important local venue for professional touring productions, but as a result the building is looking tired and quite dated in its internal presentation, so a key element of this project is to improve the general presentation of the interior.
There are many limitations presented by the building which restrict the way that the building can be used but also impact on the overall visitor experience. This is primarily in connection with the front of house spaces including limited gathering spaces in the café and bar, toilets, and accessibility.
Key aims for the project include:
• Increase the available front of house space
• Front of house spaces to be more open and fluid
• Create a café with street frontage which would be a destination in itself as well as a co-working space
• Provide opportunities / space to be able to support emerging / developmental companies
• Deal with some of the acoustic limitations of the building which are mainly generated by the audience, especially front of house
• Introduce a digital overlay – infrastructure to use digital backdrops, projection etc in productions
• Consider the impact of the chandeliers in the Main Theatre and if they could be removed since they restrict performances including projection and lighting
• Consider how to introduce more flexible stage lighting infrastructure (such as a grid) within the context of the historic interior
• Provide storage for the auditorium (which could be in the basement if a lift can be extended there)
• Consider improving the access to the stage for performers who are wheelchair users
• Providing air conditioning to the main theatre auditorium
• Reconfiguring the fire exit from the 2nd floor dressing rooms
• Reviewing the fire compartmentation between back stage and auditorium
• Reviewing the use of the storage areas in the basement and the impact on the fire strategy
• Complete refurbishment of all dance and drama studios on the ground and basement floors

Wormwood Scrubs Masterplan Biodiversity & Improvement Works

London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham Council (the “Council”) is seeking a supplier who is suitably qualified and experienced in landscaping and the creation and management of ecologically sensitive habitats. Wormwood Scrubs is an open space located at the northern end of the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. It is the largest open space in the Borough, at around 80 ha (200 acres), and is one of the largest areas of common land in London. The work is to implement the proposals in the AEM (Alternative Ecological Mitigation) Masterplan for Wormwood Scrubs open space. The overall objective of the AEM Masterplan is to improve and enhance biodiversity on the Scrubs and at the same time improve drainage across the site to better manage surface water and improve access. The work is split into two phases: Capital works – this phase of work should be completed in 6-8 months and will include the creation of a SUDs (Sustainable Urban Drainage scheme) made up of a series of scrapes and swales to the south of the site and the northwest corner of the site. Retention ponds will be created in the existing wet woodlands in the southeast of the site. Tree planting will take place at various locations and existing vegetation will be improved along with the creation of meadows and grasslands. Hibernacula’s will be created and bird and bat boxes installed. Maintenance and Management Plan (MMP) – Phase 2 of the work will be a 10 year Management and Maintenance Plan (MMP) which will include the management of the features implemented as part of the Phase 1 Capital Works including the SUDs scheme and meadows and will also involve the management of the existing woodland, scrubland and meadows that have not previously been regularly managed and are in need of ongoing management to improve conditions for wildlife and increase biodiversity. For example, selective thinning in woodland areas will allow more light in to allow a greater variety of woodland plants to grow in the understorey.
