Description
Newlyn School of Art is an art school which provides skills training and business mentoring, both in-person and online, for creative people based in Cornwall, around the UK and abroad.
Newlyn School of Art has begun a rapid period of growth since diversifying some of our skills training and business mentoring courses into an online format during the Covid pandemic. Alongside this, our 'in person' skills training courses and our Business Mentoring Year-long courses held within the Art School building also continue to grow in popularity, and we are a '340 days of the year' business - often with multiple courses running at once. This success has meant that, due to our current facilities, office size and building access, we have not been able to effectively service this new growth. We simply do not have appropriate office space for additional staff nor suitable capacity and facilities for increased customer numbers. In particular, our current facilities limit our ability to include customers (and potential staff) from the whole community as we do not have disabled access to the building.
This project focuses on resolving immediate issues which we urgently need - as well as building-in resilience for our future. The car park resurfacing and professional design of lined space allocation to maximise parking spaces, enabling additional visitors to site as well as new staff to be taken on by the business. Plus dedicated disabled parking, to improve customer/student access and allow us to potentially recruit from the full breadth of our local community including those with accessibility limitations. We will bring electricity to the car park to provide safe passage between the car parks and the school building with outside lights for staff and customers.
We will assess tenders received on lowest compliant Tender.
