Newport Theatre

Project:

The Riverfront, Newport Theatre & Arts Centre, Moderator Wharf, Newport, South Wales

Architects:

Austin Smith Lord, Cardiff

Main Contractor:

E. Turner & Sons, Cardiff

Description of Installation:

The client had specified a hardwood surface, and the architects originally considered Harlequin Liberty panels, but because of the variety of different dance styles to take place in the dance studio, Harlequin Activity with a hardwood surface was finally chosen. A conventional wooden sprung floor was discounted as not being suitable for dancers.

Notes:

The Riverfront is owned, managed and funded by Newport City Council. It was awarded a lottery grant by The Arts Council of Wales towards its construction, and a further grant from the Welsh Assembly Government was awarded for the construction of a purpose-built gallery for the mediaeval ship that was discovered on the site.

The building was awarded Welsh Building of the Year 2005.
