### Lot Information

Lot 1

The much needed refurbishment of Theatr Clwyd will revitalise the theatre for the next generation. It will provide a new home for the local community and prevent the much loved building from possible closure. A new timber extension at the front of the building provides a new, welcoming foyer space at three floors and contains a new double height restaurant, bar and cafe, as well as a meeting room and Green Room. Largely glazed, the foyer provides improved views out over the landscape of the surrounding hills, and is shaded by a large timber canopy to the south side. Two new rehearsal rooms are provided, including a full height room that can take a rehearsal for the Anthony Hopkins Theatre stage, the Clwyd Room is refurbished with the floor raised to all one level, and a series of designated flexible rooms for community groups are created for creative engagement, kids play and Health and Wellbeing. A sensory garden and kids play area are provided on the east elevation. Auditoriums are improved technically, with minor improvements to seating planning and control rooms. Backstage areas are refurbished and internal layouts rearranged where necessary to meet requirements of different departments. A new workshop extension at the back of the site provides a facility that is currently offsite, allowing all departments to be located at the theatre. A viewing gallery is created to allow the public to view backstage facilities. Accessibility will be improved throughout, with level access to all front of house areas, 5 new passenger lifts, accessible WC's throughout the building and showers in back of house areas, and new wheelchair positions in auditoriums. The thermal envelope of the building will be improved, and renewable energy sources including PV panels and air source heat pumps utilised to improve energy consumption. All services and theatre equipment are replaced throughout the building.
