Forgewood Housing Cooperative Ltd

General information

The project sees the demolition of the current Forgewood Community Centre and construction of a replacement community hub facility on the site. The existing centre has fallen into disrepair and is no longer viable practically, environmentally or economically. The new centre brings together several community resources within a single location in an inclusive and sustainable modern building. A multi-use main hall and areas for local youth groups, adult learning, IT and a small community café will form the ground floor, with the design focused on the flexibility and integration of the spaces. Forgewood Housing co-operative will become an anchor tenant on the first floor of the building which will also house shared meeting rooms and office space for use within the community. The new centre will provide a much needed community asset for Forgewood which will be able to be fully utilised and enjoyed by all in the local area.
