Hanwell Community Centre, London W7 1PD
Project information
Durkan are currently restoring a magnificent Grade II listed Victorian building at Hanwell Community Centre, Wescott Crescent, Hanwell, London, W7 1PD. Built in 1856 as a school for children of destitute families and orphans, its most famous pupil was Charlie Chaplin.
Before works began, English Heritage identified the deteriorating community centre as being at risk which resulted in Ealing Council investing over two million pounds on the restoration.
Durkan are replacing the existing roof coverings and repairing the existing brickwork to ensure the community centre, which is currently used by over 70,000 people per year, is wind and watertight.
Internally Durkan are installing extensive mechanical, electrical and communication systems to create a learning and development centre. This will provide facilities for meetings, training courses and community learning.
