DTZ Investors has approved a transformational refurbishment as part of Printworks trajectory towards international recognition as a pioneering round-the-clock entertainment destination.
Works will commence in February 2022 on the back of Printworks demonstrating its resilience through the pandemic with strong footfall recovery. DTZ Investors has also secured a new 20-year commitment to continue its ongoing partnership with Vue, who operate 23 screens at Printworks, including Europe’s second largest IMAX. The cinema is set to undergo a multi-million-pound flagship refurbishment in tandem with the wider work.
The extensive work marks the first major investment since the scheme launched in 1999, and includes the installation of a 900sq m digital ceiling: Europe’s largest and a dynamic platform for immersive audio-visual performances. Gamification is at the forefront of Printworks vision, with the immersive ceiling being complemented by a large interactive screen for supporting customer engagement.
The refurbishment will pave the way for Printworks to elevate its position as a pioneer in the international leisure market following the planning consent granted in February 2020. Alongside the internal transformation, there will be a particular focus on enhancing the iconic Printworks façade to protect its heritage value.
