£2.1 million of European funding has been secured by Hall for Cornwall from the European Regional Development Fund. 

The £2.1 million award will fund QuayWorks, a significant part of the proposed redevelopment project which, alongside a new theatre auditorium and the Heritage Lottery Funded Revealing City Hall: One Building, 1265 Voices project, will transform Hall for Cornwall into a dynamic centre for cultural and economic growth, say managers.

QuayWorks will be a fully accessible creative business project in the Back Quay area of the building, providing 1,156m square metres of offices, meeting and circulation space over three floors. It will provide high digital comms specification, flexible workspace to nurture post-graduates, new talent and start-up businesses, within the digital and creative economy. 

Julien Boast, Director of Hall for Cornwall said: ’QuayWorks is integral to advancing the development of the creative industries sector in Cornwall that will have national significance.’
