In June 2010, JHA won an invited competition to convert a former Methodist Chapel into an Arts & Heritage Centre. The project was one of six projects that secured Lottery funding as part of the first round of village SOS projects. The centre opened its doors to the public on 9th April 2011. Caistor is a town located on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds orientated towards Lincoln Cathedral. This project was the initiative of a group of local people looking for a place to house a collection of local artifacts. Key to the projects success was the relocation of the local central library which has been positioned at the heart of the centre. At the front of the centre there is a café, towards the rear there is a gallery room and IT bench. Stitched within the different programmes is a collection of local heritage. All of the spaces are connected by a wall lining that shifts from wall to shelving to storage depending on the functional and atmospheric requirement of the space. Materials have been sourced locally where possible; furniture and pendant lights are by JHA. ‘Its modernity is rooted in a respect for the past – rather like the free-thinking Methodists who first erected the building in 1858.’(1) The programme for delivering the proposed project (driven mainly by the BBC) was unbelievably tight. From being appointed through to completion was a ten month period. In order to meet the timeframe JHA proposed to negotiate with a local contractor who specializes in fast-track, Building and Shop fitting. This open book approach saved time in tendering the project and allowed us to work closely with the contactor enabling any foreseeable issues to be resolved prior to commencement on site. JHA completed the spatial arrangement drawings by the end of July 2010 and the detail drawings were completed between July and September 2010. The contractor was appointed in October 2010 and works commenced on site in November 2010.
