Our Proposals

The proposed design offers a modern, open-plan and flexible layout, providing an enhanced space and increasing the accessibility of partner services and events to a greater range of groups.

 

The redevelopment of the site will visually improve the local area. It will create a welcoming environment for people arriving by car, train or other sustainable modes of travel. In addition to the vital offer provided by the Library and Registration Services, it will also give residents a bespoke learning and skills centre, delivering accessible opportunities for residents to gain qualifications and secure local employment. It will also introduce a University of Essex presence into the town via the new Centre for Coastal Communities.

To progress this project through to the planning and construction stages, design team Saunders Architects have been appointed by Essex Housing. At this stage, the emerging proposals include the following:

Two floors of well-designed library floorspace

Additional dedicated space for the University of Essex

Two floors of Adult Community Learning spaces, including a podcasting studio

Purpose-built meeting rooms and hot-desking areas

New amenity areas

Changing spaces WC

Public realm improvements

Access to the Clacton Museum collection
