The Old Vinyl Factory, Hayes - U+I

This mixed-use neighbourhood with over 700 homes, 550,000 sq ft of offices, an innovation hub, an academy school, along with shops, cafes and a health centre, has had an immense transformation from its former state as a derelict 17-acre ex-EMI factory site. This cultural hub has not only added new life to Hayes, but also impacts the wider growth of the town centre.

Hatworks Creative Workspace, Luton - The Culture Trust

This creative work, show and share space was transformed from a building that acted as an unfortunate memory of industrial decline, having last been occupied in 2006 as a former Hat Factory in Luton. Now, The Culture Trust’s reuse of the building has transformed it into a cultural hotspot for young entrepreneurs to showcase their work, to study and take up space together.
