Curtain up on Ipswich theatre project

WG&P's New Wolsey Theatre Pavilion, designed for Ipswich's Westgate area

Waind Gohil & Potter’s New Wolsey pavilion and square set for spring completion

Work has started on site to deliver a pavilion designed by Waind Gohil & Potter Architects for Ipswich’s New Wolsey Theatre as part of wider regeneration work for the town’s Westgate area.

The pavilion will become home to the theatre’s community engagement and creative learning programme. It will feature space to encourage collaborative working and provide a tech hub for developing digital skills in arts practice.

WG&P’s design uses a pre-fabricated timber structure developed with structural engineers Price & Myers and incorporates a striking concertinaed golden metal roof.
