Jack Cornwell Community Centre

What: Realise improvements on Jack Cornwell Community Centre's building and expand its community use and cultural offer.

Placemaking & Building Activation:

• Create a better-defined entrance to the centre through creative lighting and signage. Co-design a mural with young people to activate part of the building's facade.
• Create more windows / openings on the centre's building envelope to allow for some of the activity inside to be visible from the street.

Uses & Cultural Offer:

• Create an extended outdoors area for the centre's cafe with seating and light to activate the area between the centre and the playground.
• Provide free Wi-Fi that can be accessed from outdoors as well as inside the centre for young people.
• Use the community centre for arts & culture events, educational programmes, and SEND services.
• Create a model that allows for the centre to be activated by residents with self-organised activities such as: a library of things, family events, collaborative learning, coworking, cooking lessons between residents.
