Every community needs its gathering space, the Village Hall. This proposal links to the Shalom church, community and youth centre as part of the East Marsh Community Campus. There is a flexible function room which has views over and opens up to a walled garden and a drop-in ‘kitchen table’ space on the ground floor with access to food growing raised beds, there are office and meeting spaces for East Marsh United https://eastmarshunited.org/ on the first floor with views over Grant Thorold Park. There is a large sweeping aluminium roof topped by a roof lantern providing daylight and natural ventilation to the first floor.
