Construction firm Sisk has been awarded a £38 million contract to redevelop the London Irish Centre in Camden. The project, designed by Coffey Architects, will create a modern cultural and community hub scheduled for completion in 2029.
Why it matters
This project represents a significant investment in cultural infrastructure for the Irish diaspora in Britain and a major urban development in London.
Sisk has secured the job to deliver the £38m redevelopment of the London Irish Centre in Camden.
The firm is due to start work in January next year on the long-planned overhaul of the charity’s Camden Square headquarters, with the new centre scheduled to reopen in the first quarter of 2029.
Designed by Coffey Architects, the three-storey redevelopment will retain the building’s original street façade while creating a modern cultural, welfare and community hub for the Irish community in Britain.
The scheme will provide a 400-seat theatre and performance venue, a 130-seat studio theatre and cinema, heritage archive, library, community and enterprise spaces, welfare facilities, café, bar and social areas.
