Client: The Brindley Theatre and Arts Centre
Type of works: supply of MCM single-skin systems and oxidised copper-effect MCM panels.
The centre is named after James Brindley the self-taught engineer of the Adjacent Bridgewater canal, which heralded the Canal Age in Britain in 1765.
The picture above illustrates the dramatic design of the auditorium area. Occupants within the foyer are able to look up directly through the glazed canopy and see the oxidised copper-effect MCM panels that were commissioned. MCM single-skin systems were also utilised.
The surrounding buildings in the area have original copper features, indeed the main bridge over the Bridgewater Canal is painted in a copper Green shade; this influenced the designers to source a similar material for the Arts Centres key features.
