This document provides information for a structural design team commissioned to design a new arts building. It includes a schedule of accommodation outlining the spaces needed. Physical constraints of the site include existing buildings on both sides and a vacant plot in the rear. Precedent projects are presented. The design process is documented from initial sketches through current design, including spatial development, facade design, and structural build up. Key structural issues addressed include demolition, excavation, site access, safety, and future maintenance.
