The new development will include a visitor centre, exhibition space, office space and a café. A full programme of events and tours by foot, bike and boat will also allow visitors to explore Birmingham and its famous canals.
Dating back to 1874, the Grade II* listed Roundhouse was originally known for its stables and stores for the Birmingham corporation. Designed by local architect WH Ward, the iconic horseshoe-shaped building quickly became a real landmark in the city.
Today, this curious building is set to be revived. A place full of character that will become a wonderful space to work, socialise and relax. Bringing together a community of people and organisations that share a passion for heritage, the Roundhouse will be brought back to life for tens of thousands of people to enjoy each year.
Location
The Roundhouse is located at the junction of Sheepcote Street and St Vincent Street, with prominent frontage onto the Birmingham Main Line Canal. The premises are located within 10 minutes' walk of Birmingham's city centre, Arena and International Convention Centre (ICC). The excellent Brindley Office and Leisure Development is also a few minutes walking distance away.
There is a substantial 24/7-access car park within a one-minute walk of the property situated at the Birmingham Arena.
