Architects Flanagan Lawrence<\/a> have been appointed to develop the final designs for the ambitious project to revive the University of Salford\u2019s<\/a> historic Maxwell Hall<\/h2>\n

The redevelopment of the University of Salford\u2019s historic Maxwell Hall is aimed at creating a world-class entertainment and cultural hub for both students and the wider Salford and Greater Manchester communities.<\/p>\n

After a competitive bidding process Architects, Flanagan Lawrence has been appointed to develop the final designs, and have already created striking images of what the new venue could look like.<\/p>\n

It is all part of the ambitious \u00a3800m Salford Crescent Masterplan<\/a> that has been jointly developed by the University of Salford and Salford City Council to outline the vision for a new city district in the heart of Salford.<\/p>\n

The redevelopment of Maxwell Hall will create a large auditorium with flexible layout options and add to a growing list of cultural assets in Salford, including successful arts venue Islington Mill, Sounds of the Other City music festival and the continued growth of the creative and digital sector at Salford Quays.<\/p>\n

Developing new cultural opportunities is at the heart of the masterplan and in recognition of this potential to grow the cultural economy in Salford, the Salford Culture and Place Partnership \u2013 a collaboration between the University, The Lowry, the City Council and other partners \u2013 was established to drive cultural activity across the City.<\/p>\n

Huw Williams, COO at the University of Salford, said: \u201cThis is very exciting announcement for the University and the whole of the city. We are committed to bringing Maxwell Hall back to life, to create a vibrant space for the benefit of the whole community as well as our students.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the centre-piece of our campus and given its proximity to the A6, the Salford Crescent Masterplan has identified the need to retain and redevelop Maxwell Hall as a cultural and performance venue, for both students and the general public, as well as creating new spaces for conferences, events, short courses and executive education.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaxwell Hall has a long and distinguished history of attracting a broad range of acts and talent from across the UK and we want to build on that. We are also aiming to attract high profile conferences and events.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the University will be investing a large amount of capital in the project, matched funding will need to be raised for part of the estimated \u00a315m project costs and the University will work with partners to ensure the ambitious scheme goes ahead.<\/p>\n

Jason Flanagan, director of Flanagan Lawrence, added: \u201cMaxwell Hall has a great history as a music venue and we are excited to be a part of the University of Salford\u2019s vision for its future redevelopment.\u201d<\/p>\n
