Belfast Stories Main Works Integrated Supply Team (IST)

Description

The Authority invites tenders to provide the works for Belfast Stories Integrated Supply Team (IST) – Main Contract The contract is for the provision of the delivery of a new building to house the Belfast Stories visitor attraction and creative hub, including new internal and external public spaces at lands bounded by North Street, Union Street, Kent Street and Royal Avenue, Belfast. Belfast Stories can be summarised as Belfast City Council’s declared ambition to create ‘a unique visitor destination of unprecedented scale and ambition in the heart of the city centre, that will serve as a catalyst for economic, social, and cultural regeneration of the city and the wider region. To respond to this ambitious brief, the project is conceived as a combination of 3 core components: • Visitor attraction: Stories backed ticketed visitor experience designed to allow people to live their stores, share their stories and tell their stories • Creative Hub: Media Production Studio, 3x cultural cinemas, and a series of educational workshops and classrooms • Public Space: The building programme wraps around a large scale urban room at the heart of the scheme, serving as a focal point for gathering and containing the main horizontal and vertical circulation connecting all of the inter-related components of the building. The central space is conceived as being covered, but distinctly external / urban in character, creating an expressly public place where the visitor is readily presented with opportunities to tell and make their story.
