Baths Hall fa�ade
02 April 2011 by Paul Rhoades
Work continues at a pace at the new Baths Hall in time for its opening later this year.
Today for the first time it has started people passing the construction site can start to get an idea of just what it is going to look like, as some of the finishing has been added to the external fa�ade
You can see from the artists impression below (on the North Lincolnshire Council's web site) what it is envisaged that the above shot will look like when completed as the exterior cladding is added.
When completed the venue will be run by entertainments giant SMG who are the booking agents for many top acts around the UK, Europe and the USA. It is hoped that the new 2,000 capacity venue will not only attract visitors to the town, but will also provide entertainment and events for residents so they no longer have to travel to nearby Sheffield and Hull to see a lot of acts and tours.
Once completed the new venue will encourage developers to invest more in this area of the town. We have already seen a massive extension added to Sainsbury's, and planning applications have been received to level the old Evening Telegraph offices and redevelop that site for restaurant purposes.
