A selection of newly revealed first look images show plans to redevelop the pavilion at Piccadilly Gardens, giving a glimpse at the future of the community hub.
The plans revealed will see the removal of the canopy overhead, splitting the concrete pavilion into two separate sections and the refurbishment of two restaurants. Legal & General Investment Management Real Assets (LGIMRA), which owns the concrete pavilion, also plans to install an art along the concrete wall.
Metal, glass and LED lighting on the walls will feature thread-like lines and holes in a nod to the famous industrial past of the city, with new lighting also added around the perimeter of the pavilion. These new redevelopment plans come ahead of a wider £25M investment to give the public space a facelift.
Rob Codling, Senior Fund Manager at LGIMRA, said: “This project creates an excellent opportunity to increase the approachability of Piccadilly Gardens and make spending time there a more enjoyable experience for residents and visitors to the city.”
