Kuumba Arts Centre


For the Trustees

This well established centre for Afrikan and Caribbean culture needs a new performance space for 400 people (600 standing) with associated dance studio, workshop, enlarged library and a café/restaurant supported by a new high profile front of house and new offices.

The proposed site contains a derelict Grade 2* listed warehouse and the proposal refurbishes this and integrates in with new accommodation to the rear. This use is also designed to act as a catalyst for the regeneration of a larger site containing a large, derelict 1960’s office building as part of the overall regeneration of St Pauls.
