Possil and Milton 1st Centre have engaged with an architect to produce a design and layout for the new build and extension. The architect has highlighted that there is the opportunity to create a link between the 1st Centre and the existing Possil Point Community Education Centre.

Bringing together two separate buildings through an extension will require serious consideration be given to the overall image of the new centre. Therefore the exterior of the building highlights that there is an attempt to create a single image, rather that multiple facades. The extension has been considered within the context of the re-cladding of Possil Point, helping to create a friendlier appearance.

The external spaces have been considered as part of the overall proposal, and have a significant role to play in the perception and success of the project, thus reinforcing the connection to the street and the community beyond.

The potential new build and refurbishment process of the First Centre and Possil Point is very exciting for the community and those individuals currently using the facilities. However it is important to view the new proposal as a brand new venture and not just an amalgamation of two existing facilities.
