Text description provided by the architects. The historic Bluecoat Chambers in the heart of Liverpool’s retail district has been revitalised and expanded as part of a £12m redevelopment project. The project plays a significant part in the regeneration of Liverpool city centre. The design sees the Grade 1 Listed building (the oldest building in the city) carefully restored and a new 2250 m² extension built - a new performing arts wing - housing a 200-seat performance space and art galleries. This new wing re-establishes the form of the original school. It restores the Queen Anne H-shape layout, completed in 1717 but lost during heavy bombing of the city during world war two.
