Oldham Council<\/a> has selected Interserve<\/a> to deliver a \u00a313m major\u00a0centre for culture, arts, history and entertainment in the Oldham town<\/h2>\n

The centre, known as OMA, will integrate the town\u2019s existing Victorian Grade II listed former library and its current arts centre, and will substantially enhance the town\u2019s cultural offering.<\/p>\n

OMA will showcase the story of Oldham\u2019s past from its time as the cotton spinning capital of the world to the present day, with gallery spaces, archives and public research rooms. The venue will house the borough\u2019s fulsome collection of objects and artworks and will increase public access to heritage assets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Councillor Sean Fielding, leader of the Council and cabinet member for economy and enterprise, said: \u201cThis is another great step in the regeneration of our town centre and our plans to make Oldham a cultural destination.<\/p>\n

\u201cInterserve has a strong track record in delivering similar projects to a high standard and were responsible for restoring the Corn Exchange<\/a> in Manchester. I am confident that it will produce a great building which reflects our proud history and heritage, but also adds the modern touches needed to reflect the needs of society today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Phil Shaw, divisional director at Interserve Construction, said:\u00a0\u201cOur team has significant experience of working on historic buildings like Oldham\u2019s Victorian library and we will be bringing our expertise and capabilities to the project by adding a contemporary and modern addition to the building while respecting its architectural heritage.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to have been selected by Oldham Council to deliver this important new cultural hub for the town.\u201d<\/p>\n
