ACT recently completed this feasibility study and implementation plan for new cultural facilities in Chatham Centre which was commissioned by Medway Renaissance working in partnership with Medway Council. This will be a three-part report provided a Needs Analysis, Feasibility Study and Implementation Plan for New Cultural Facilities in Chatham Centre. Our report has assessed the cultural needs for arts and entertainment facilities for the Medway Council area in the context of the planned growth in population as part of the Thames Gateway.

Existing buildings in Chatham and environs have been identified which could meet some of the needs. Gaps in provision have been identified following site analysis and outline design development.

The project team includes:

Urban Planning and Architecture		Marsh:Grochowski
Catchment area and Marketplace analysis		Baker Richards Market research
Programming and Business Planning		Robert Sanderson
Cost Advice and Construction Planning		Fletcher King Howard
Specialist advice for gallery / artists' facilities.		Jeremy Theophilus
