Public consultation for The Old Vic 09.09.21

The Old Vic is holding a public consultation this Saturday on their plans for The Annex, a social and creative arts hub, adjacent and connected to the theatre. In addition to The Annex, the scheme includes significant upgrades to Back of House areas: improving Stage Door, dressing room and stage access, making the theatre accessible and inclusive to all for the first time in its 203-year history. Plans for the new build Annex include a triple height cafe-bar and script library, a new Clore Learning Centre and a flexible Studio space, providing facilities for increased and more diverse artistic output, community outreach, education, and hospitality events. All of these activities are currently either conducted outside of the building or aren’t able to happen due to space constraints. The Old Vic share the aspiration for sustainable and regenerative design. Intelligent reuse of elements of the existing building, inclusion of a new structural frame with low embodied carbon, a renewable energy source combined with a range of measures to minimise energy use and running costs, are designed to ensure that the proposals will deliver and operate an exemplar low-carbon building.
