Work has begun on the \u00a31.6m construction of the new Tower Gardens Community Building, bringing new inclusive facilities to the town<\/h2>\n

Work started on the site of the Tower Gardens Community Building at the end of May following demolition of the existing Tower Gardens Pavilion earlier this year. Midlands contractor\u00a0G F Tomlinson<\/a>\u00a0are delivering the design and construction of the innovative building via the Scape Regional Construction framework, for Skegness Town Council<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The \u00a31.6m project due for completion in early 2020, will create a centrally located, mixed-use community building which is fully accessible to all, supporting the council\u2019s ambitions for a more inclusive environment<\/a>, workplace and place to visit.<\/p>\n

Residents from the local area were consulted throughout the process to further understand the facilities that were important to the community, with their feedback incorporated into the design and a competition held to decide on a name for the new building.<\/p>\n

Public feedback for the new Tower Gardens Community Building showed there was a clear need for a range of facilities, to make both the building and park a safe and inclusive space for residents and visitors of all ages and abilities to enjoy.<\/p>\n

The design of the new building responds to the existing site and surroundings,\u00a0celebrating the vast history of the area\u00a0whilst meeting changing demands and creating a functional and useable mixed-use community building.<\/p>\n

The building will include a multi-purpose function room and event space, a changing places hygiene suite, a kitchen tearoom and caf\u00e9, as well as council offices.<\/p>\n

The changing places hygiene suite will have a fully accessible toilet with a hoist, shower, room for two carers and an adult changing table. The tearoom will support the needs of those with dementia using reminiscence prompts with cognitive stimulation throughout the building.<\/p>\n

The development of Tower Gardens Community Building and park is the latest investment as part of the town council\u2019s vision for Skegness as a forward-thinking, vibrant town known for its community feel and a positive choice of location to live and raise a family.<\/p>\n

Craig Stopper, framework construction manager at G F Tomlinson, said: \u201cThe Tower Gardens development will bring a fresh and modern offering to Skegness, benefitting all of its residents and yearly visitors.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe park is an important location for the local community, with a heritage spanning 140 years. We\u2019re proud to play a part in its history and construct a new building that will become the go-to centre for local people \u2013 providing useful information, a place to enjoy the views of the garden and key event space.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the new community building being fully-inclusive with a range of facilities that have been incorporated following the feedback of local people, we are positive it will be a great success for the town of Skegness and its local community and visitors alike.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mark Robinson, Scape Group<\/a> chief executive, added: \u201cWe\u2019re proud to be supporting Skegness Town Council to regenerate and revitalise the heart of the local community at Tower Gardens, with this fantastic new multi-use building.<\/p>\n

“Our frameworks are designed to guarantee efficiency and certainty of project delivery, whilst embedding significant socioeconomic value by keeping communities engaged throughout.\u201d<\/p>\n
