Fullarton Community hub gains Lottery funding /  by Nikki Barton

Fullarton Community Association will receive £1,127,389 from Big Lottery to build a new community hub in Irvine, North Ayrshire. The new hub designed by City Architecture OFFICE, replaces a prefab hut that has been the community centre for forty years.

 

The hub has twice the space than the original and will host activities offered every day of the week. It will feature a series of facilities for the local community, including a doctor’s surgery, multi-purpose hall, youth facilities, offices and a community lounge/ cafe. A MUGA and community garden will also be provided.

 

Moray Royles, Director at City Architecture Office, said: “We are very excited to be part of this community project. The new building is designed to have a prominent, optimistic presence in the locality and be a catalyst towards a bright future for Fullarton.
