Mecanoo

Mecanoo is committed to prioritising the local supply chain throughout this project and - in support of Oldham Council's Get Oldham Working campaign - are delivering an employment and skills strategy to focus on young people in the borough, improving links with local education providers and exploring the opportunity to create apprenticeships. The project was given the green light after a successful joint funding bid by Oldham Council and Oldham Coliseum Theatre secured a £7.1m National Lottery-funded capital grant from Arts Council England towards the project. Subject to planning approval, construction work is anticipated to start in April 2018 with the venue set to open in 2020.
