We completed the construction of the new state of the art Performing Arts Centre at Durrington High School. Delivered whilst the School remained open and operational, CBG created the new 800m2 Performing Arts Centre including a new stage area, auditorium & associated back-stage areas. The first floor mezzanine provided space for a visitor viewing gallery and multi-use studio space.
The main auditorium was fitted with electronically controlled bleacher retractable seating suitable for 335 audience members, with additional seating for a near 400 capacity venue. Bespoke lighting, sound and visual installations were critical for the success of the project allowing students to work with industry leading technology. A 7M X 4.5M screen, high quality laser projector and thirty stage lights were installed. Acoustic wall and ceiling diffusers. Externally four parking spaces were provided with EV charging capability. The project had sustainability at its heart with 3000 LED light fixtures, 410 solar panels installed on the roof and air source heat pumps.
