Oldham Town Hall - BDP.

A view into our multi-award winning project of Oldham Town Hall, and the regeneration effort of the Town Hall and surrounding public realm. From the designers themselves, see some of the thoughts and design processes that have gone into making this scheme such a success.

The development ensures certain architectural features and decorations are retained while allowing the building to have a new use. The existing ballroom, council chamber, committee rooms and court rooms have been kept and transformed into cinema screens, while a new extension, a translucent glass light-box, creates a new façade on Clegg Street. This extension is a central element in the development, providing a new entrance and foyers to the cinema areas, a façade towards a new pedestrian square and the Town Square shopping centre and an active and animated street environment, especially at night.
