Our new extension for Cedars Youth and Community Centre in Harrow Weald has created much-needed meeting and workshop space for the local community.
The centre, which is managed by Watford Football Club’s Community Sports and Education Trust, provides a range of sports facilities and space for community activities. Since it opened in 2012, it has grown in popularity and needed extra space to accommodate a wider range of people.
We originally designed the centre and were delighted to be asked back to help. Completed in February 2019, the 194m2 extension provides space for Mencap, a leading charity supporting people with learning disabilities, and flexible workshop spaces for local community groups.
Steve Williams, Head of Facilities and Inclusion says: “Since opening in 2012, the facility has been extremely successful in supporting the community, offering football, dance, education, health and wellbeing, and a wide range of social events. A key component of our delivery is being able to demonstrate the social impact our work has within the borough. As a result, we decided to ask LOM back to help us with this vital piece of work which will allow the centre to support the needs of a more diverse base of users than was previously the case. We feel the end result is an attractive design which integrates extremely well with the existing building.”
