Whitethread has acquired a new premise. This is an exciting development for the organisation and a significant step forward in its growth and development. The new premises offer a larger space to provide a better learning environment for our students. We are thrilled to have this opportunity to expand our facilities and enhance the quality of our education and services.
Whitethread renovation works will be a financial obligation of £450,000 that needs to be paid off. This amounts to works to be carried out in the premises that are crucial to the growth of the organisation’s operations. The premises will be instrumental in serving the community and furthering the organisation’s mission.
To meet this obligation, Whitethread is committed to finding a viable solution to pay this amount and continue to serve the community with the same level of commitment and dedication and the support of the community is crucial to overcoming this financial obstacle. Whitethread is grateful for the support or assistance in donations to fund the renovation works.
Whitethread Institute is undertaking significant renovations to enhance its new premises, focusing on two main areas: Structural Works and Internal Finishes and Fit Out.
Each component is crucial for creating a functional and welcoming environment for students and the community.
Acquiring high-quality steel materials essential for the building’s structural framework, ensuring stability and longevity.
Removing the existing roof covering to prepare for the installation of a new, more durable roofing system.
Constructing an intermediate floor to maximise usable space within the building, providing additional areas for various activities.
Erecting steel components to form the building’s skeleton, a critical step in supporting the overall structure.
Dismantling the current roofing frame and installing a new timber roof with dormer windows to enhance natural light and aesthetic appeal.
Implementing a completely new roof structure with durable covering materials to protect the building from environmental elements.
Installing safe and accessible staircases along with energy-efficient external windows to improve building access and natural lighting.
Constructing internal walls and applying plaster to create smooth, ready-to-paint surfaces, defining the interior spaces.
Laying underfloor heating systems topped with screed to provide efficient and comfortable heating solutions.
Developing modern washroom facilities with updated plumbing and tiling to ensure hygiene and user comfort.
Installing systems to regulate air quality and circulation, creating a healthy indoor environment.
Implementing HVAC systems to maintain optimal indoor temperatures throughout the year.
Restoring the building’s brickwork and mortar joints to preserve structural integrity and appearance.
Laying down high-quality flooring materials and carpets to enhance interior aesthetics and comfort.
Your generous contributions will directly fund these specific projects, each integral to transforming the Whitethread Centre into a vibrant hub for education and community engagement.
