We were appointed by UCL to lead on the complex refurbishment of the Bloomsbury Theatre, delivering an extensive programme of improvement and renewal. The theatre provides a unique resource for students and has gained a reputation in a number of fields, from student opera to innovative stand-up comedy. The theatre also offers a rich professional programme of west-end music, drama, and dance all year round. The theatre's 550-seat auditorium has been entirely and sensitively refurbished as part of the project, with new services and technical infrastructure that help drive a more inclusive and far-reaching programme.
