Production Park has received planning approval for its expansion plans.
Home to organisations including TAIT, ROE and 4Wall, Production Park aims to significantly increase its facilities, with plans which will expand its footprint to nearly 30 acres.
Under the proposals, two new studios will be added along with more than 70,000 sq ft of commercial space, strengthening Production Park’s offer to TV, film and live entertainment clients. The facility, which was the main production base for Netflix TV series, Adolescence, will feature tenant spaces, a training and performance centre, plus an expanded teaching space for its on-campus higher education institution, the Academy of Live Technology (ALT).
Commenting on the approval, CEO Lee Brooks said, “This expansion marks an important next phase for Production Park as we continue to thoughtfully widen opportunities for industry to produce, educate and connect here. For over 20 years we’ve built an environment and culture that understands the process and value of the stage and screen industries. We’ve seen award-winning productions created on this campus, and watched students go on to build international careers. We are united in our continued vision to connect world-class innovators, creators and producers in a space that supports incredible work for global audiences.”
Adam Davis, CEO of TAIT and anchor resident at Production Park added, “TAIT’s presence on Production Park provides design, engineering, manufacturing, integration, project management, training and support for our global clients. Production Park isn’t just a global location for us; it’s a vibrant community we’re proud to be part of. We’re invested at every level, from employing Academy of Live Technology graduates, to supporting clients rehearsing on site, to collaborating on research that shapes the future of live experiences. We’re delighted to play our part in the Park’s continued growth.”
