Our Role

• Provision of new accessible entrances and fully accessible spaces within the venue for public, performers and staff, including new lift installation.

• Creation of new foyer, catering facility, cafe and engagement spaces.

• Improved environmental installations including sustainable heating and lighting installations, and upgrades to M&E and ventilation.

• Upgrade to the existing theatre / performance space and backstage facilities.

• Renovation and modernisation of the multi-use spaces and creation of new studios and break out spaces.

• Restoration and refurbishment of heritage façade and roof.

Jacksons Lane is a community focused theatre and community arts venue in Highgate, North London. It provides social opportunities for a diverse range of user groups and communities including arts events, workshops and circus skills.

Located in a Grade II listed former church, the building includes a theatre with an audience capacity of 166, one large and four small studio spaces, backstage and office space and a foyer/café/bar.

We were the Project Managers (development and delivery stages), ensuring the renovation works balanced the building’s heritage status with the need for modern, accessible, and sustainable facilities.
