Proposal
The proposal is to convert and refurbish the existing accommodation at the front of the building, together with new and adapted spaces, to provide the following: Two event halls of different capacities, including a new hall, to enhance the events offering. A retained and refurbished existing dining hall, with a flexible partition allowing overflow into the adjacent hall. Additional space at the rear of the site. Courtyard gardens to organise the outdoor spaces, with parking retained on the west side. Activity areas and meeting rooms with continued potential to generate revenue. A central, flexible breakout space capable of serving as a gallery and accommodating event overflow. An Innovation Hub within a rebuilt rear wing, with potential for use as a clinic to support existing links with Manor Hospital. A Commonwealth Market within a new extension off a central courtyard. A bar at the front of the building, with potential for a new stained-glass window facing Wolverhampton Road. The works will be carried out in different phases, including internal refurbishment works, to allow the development to be delivered progressively. Data via plota.co.uk
