Constructed by main contractors ISG Jackson, the four storey £14m building is being clad in anodised aluminium sheets with sequentially expanded perforations, interspersed with recessed curtain wall screens. The design gives the scheme a sculptural appeal and a striking visual effect.

The Young Vic
The Young Vic Theatre is one of London’s leading theatre venues, with a record of innovation, strong links with its community, and a concentration on theatre by young practitioners for a young and diverse audience.
