U+I<\/a> and Really Local Group<\/a> have secured the go-ahead from the London Borough of Hillingdon<\/a> to bring the former pressing plant at The Old Vinyl Factory back into a mixed-use venue<\/h2>\n

The site, to be called The Gramophone, will celebrate the area\u2019s rich cultural and industrial heritage whilst providing a state-of-the-art bespoke cultural and entertainment hub for Hayes and West London<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Gramophone has been designed by Architecture Initiative<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Previously, it was an iconic component of the global music trade, responsible for stamping the grooves onto heated vinyl records that subsequently shipped around the world.<\/p>\n

The Gramophone forms the final part of The Old Vinyl Factory development located at the site of the former EMI record plant, where records by artists such as Pink Floyd and The Beatles were historically pressed, and the building celebrates this rich musical heritage through its design and end-use.<\/p>\n

It will become home to a new cultural and entertainment hub at the heart of The Old Vinyl Factory masterplan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The scheme relates to its heritage setting by situating old and new elements in sensitive harmony.<\/p>\n

The existing brick fa\u00e7ade is presented most prominently to the wider development, with modern elements set back \u2013 including a pre-cast concrete roof \u2018box\u2019 for housing the cinema screens. Wall-mounted projectors will cast interactive images onto the street to engage local residents and passers-by while referencing the building\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

The Old Vinyl Factory benefits from an incredibly well-connected location, just five minutes walking distance to Hayes & Harlington Station, with fast trains to Heathrow (6 minutes) and London Paddington (15 minutes).<\/p>\n

The Gramophone was awarded a \u00a31.2m funding boost from the GLA\u2019s Good Growth Fund<\/a>, showing significant confidence in the scheme\u2019s importance to Hayes.<\/p>\n

A new social hub<\/h3>\n

Richard Upton, CEO at U+I said: \u201cThe Gramophone is an important part of The Old Vinyl Factory \u2013 as the final piece of the masterplan, this new cultural hub will benefit the local people of Hayes and attract visitors from across London.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe scheme illustrates U+I\u2019s commitment to heritage-led creative regeneration and we look forward to bringing this final element of a truly remarkable and historic site to life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Preston Benson, founder at Really Local Group<\/a>, said: \u201cThe Gramophone provides such a unique opportunity to restore a piece of cultural history.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to be a part of its redevelopment and operation. Not only will the venue champion the exceptional musical and industrial heritage of the site but it will also serve as a much-needed social hub for the area, which in our post-pandemic world, will be more important than ever.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur venue will host an eclectic programme of arts and entertainment in an inclusive space and operated collaboratively with the local community.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Gramophone really is one of a kind and we hope that its legacy transcends future generations.\u201d<\/p>\n
