Cultural centre for west London

Located adjacent to the Grand Union Canal and the A40 Westway flyover, a new cultural hub in west London known as Great Western Studios is set to be fully occupied this August.

The scheme involves refurbishing an old canalside warehouse into studio and exhibition spaces for more than 100 artists, designers and craftspeople. Spread over three floors the building will contain 91 studios, a cafe and an exhibition gallery area.

Working on behalf of main contractor Readie Construction, Atlas Ward Structures has fabricated and erected nearly 200t of structural steelwork for the project.
