The two maps illustrate the transformation of Colwick Arts Centre between 2005 and the present day. Overall, both the centre’s interior and exterior spaces have been renovated with an addition of new facilities, while some existing ones were relocated or torn down.
One change that stands out is that the snack bar, which was in the top left-hand corner, has now been demolished and replaced by two meeting rooms. Also, a new drama studio has been built right next to the meeting rooms. The two galleries that were on the right, opposite the concert hall/ cinema in 2005 have been combined into one and moved to the old location of the meeting rooms. The concert hall and cinema, which previously shared a space, have been transformed into separate and expanded areas, offering more space for each art form.
Another noticeable change is that a new cafe has been added behind the gallery, in the place that was an old toilet in 2005. Additionally, a central exhibition area has been constructed right in the heart of Colwick Arts Centre. The information desk is the only place that has not changed its location. The wasteland behind the Arts Centre has been repurposed by building a stage and an outdoor exhibition and performance area in the middle of the land, which is surrounded by many trees.
So, it is clear that Colwick Arts Centre has changed significantly since 2005.
