Project Description
Cumbernauld Community Enterprise Centre is a new build development to replace the existing Muirfield Community Centre in the centre of Cumbernauld. The project has been announced as a finalist for Development of the Year (public) at the Scottish Property Awards 2017.
The project is a tandem build on the existing Muirfield Community Centre site and presents challenges in relation to phasing the works to allow the centre to remain operational and accommodate as many of the existing user groups as possible.
The works comprise the phased demolition and decanting (decant undertaken by user groups and Culture NL and co-ordinated by Culture NL) of the existing Muirfield Community Centre to enable the facility to remain operational throughout the currency of the Works. The project comprises the construction of a new mixed use development containing community facilities and speculative office provision for Social Enterprise and Small Business sector tenancies. The project also includes the construction of a new access road to serve the development which is being constructed to the rear of the existing Police station and external works including the formation of a new car park, remodelling Police Scotland fleet car park, public realm area at main entrance and creation of parkland including children’s play area and a Multi Use Games Area (MUGA).
