Willmott Dixon is now six months into the restoration of the east wing at Alexandra Palace in north London.
The £17m project is being led by Simon Wilson, operations manager at Willmott, working alongside architect Fielden Clegg Bradley. The work involves creating a new theatre with capacity of up to 1,300 people and also reinstating the balcony.
The Victorian theatre dates to 1875 and will be brought back to life as an adaptable performance space which can be used for a range of community, cultural and commercial events including theatre, cinema screenings, live comedy, acoustic music and corporate entertainment.
