BAM bags £15m Leeds Playhouse contract

BAM’s North East construction team has been appointed to deliver the £15m redevelopment of Leeds Playhouse.

BAM has been developing the design from Glasgow-based architect Page/Park for client Leeds City Council.

The two theatres forming the Playhouse opened originally in 1990 but they suffer from poor disabled access and require new entrances and more open spaces.

The scheme is part of a wider transformation of the local Quarry Hill area as a cultural quarter.

BAM’s Construction Director Jason Pink said: “We’re creating a new theatre in the undercroft and we’ll be conducting enhancement and access works around the other two existing theatres.

“It’s a complex refurb with numerous small spaces that feel like a rabbit warren. Our team has experience of similar restoration schemes that we completed in Leeds and Harrogate.
