Variant Office developed a brief with Marcus Lipton Youth Centre in Loughborough Junction to release space for rental opportunities and more productive use, so that MLYC could become financially self-sufficient. VO identified objectives to reorganise the existing spaces with minimal intervention, proposing a number of deep storage areas to free up space for other uses. We developed a draft cost plan to enable MLYC to identify which works would prove the most valuable, and worked as part of a group with Public Works, Loughborough Junction Action Group, and the neighbouring Grove Adventure Playground, to develop an overall strategy for the two sites.
