The maps show the changes to Colwick Arts Centre between 2005 and the
present day. We can see that the Centre expanded and new facilities were
added during this period.
One of the major changes is that the outside area was developed. In 2005
there was a n empty area of land outside the Centre. Trees were planted
there and an outdoor exhibition area was made. The café was moved to the
front of the Arts Centre and tables were added outside.
Inside, a central exhibition area was created. The information desk was
moved to the front of the central area. In the past there were two galleries
but now there is only one; however, a drama studio was built. In 2005 the
concert hall and cinema were in the same space, whereas now they are
separate. In addition, an extra meeting room was constructed. The toilets
moved to the opposite side of the Centre.
So, it is clear that Colwick Arts Centre is more attractive today and has better
facilities than in 2005.
The 2 maps describe how the Colwick Arts Centre changed between the year
2005 and today. Overall, we can see there were many changes made to the
centre, notably the utilization of wasteland and the constructions of new
buildings.
In the past, the concert hall and the cinema shared a building. However, they
are now seperated into two buildings, which are placed next to each other on
the upper left-hand corner of the centre. The two galleries in 2005 are
demolished. They build a new gallery and a café in west side of the center.
The meeting rooms are moved to the north-west corner. In addition, they
also build a drama studio between the meeting rooms and the cinema and a
central exhibition area in the middle of the centre.
The centre transforms the wasteland into outdoor exhibition and
performance area. A stage has been built in the middle of the land which is
surrounded by rows of trees. There are many desks on each side of the trees
for students of the centre.
