Theatre Projects is proud to be an official sponsor of the Designing Arts and Leisure Facilities conference, hosted by the Architects' Journal. The event aims to encourage well-planned arts and leisure schemes which address the competing demands on space, financing and usage as well as other challenges, as failure to do so at an early stage may lead to a multitude of complications further down the line.

This conference is in line with Theatre Projects' philosophy of promoting early planning on performing arts projects to ensure that the scheme not only meets the client's brief and budget for the space, but also that it will be equipped to serve the future users of the facility whose needs and requirements may change over the course of time.

Speakers at the event - many of whom are regular collaborators with Theatre Projects - will address such issues as the design of theatre spaces, acoustics in arts and leisure buildings and economic regeneration through arts projects.

The conference will take place on 18th October from 08:30 onwards at the Wellcome Collection in London. More information on the event is available at the conference's official website www.ajartandleisure.co.uk/.
