What did the project involve?
Phelan Construction were thrilled when we were awarded this prestigious local project to completely transform the Mercury Theatre, creating additional rehearsal space, office areas as well a redeveloping the existing FoH areas.
After securing the project through competitive tender and quality evaluation, we then completed significant value engineering to bring the project within budget for the local council.
The works involved the demolition of an existing building before erecting a steel framed structure to house a new large rehearsal space, teaching space and office accommodation in a two-storey building which adjoined the existing theatre.
We then started the process of demolishing the small restaurant to the front and constructing a new extension. We then completely refurbished all FoH areas to create a new reception and box office, large restaurant and bar and refurbish all other areas to make the theatre the premier creative hub in the area.
