Approval granted for £9 million renovation of landmark entertainment hub, Printworks Manchester
Printworks Manchester Undergoes £9m Refurbishment
Printworks Manchester, a popular leisure destination in the heart of Manchester city centre, is set for a significant transformation with a £9m refurbishment. This marks the first major investment in the venue since its launch 20 years ago.
The refurbishment plans, submitted in October 2019, have been approved and include changes to the branding, wayfinding, and online platforms, as well as physical improvements. The new website for Printworks has just been launched, providing updates on the refurbishment development as it progresses.
One of the key features of the refurbishment is the addition of a large interactive screen for customer engagement and gamification. This screen, measuring an impressive 1,300m2, will be the largest indoor screen in Europe once complete.
The refurbishment also includes an overhaul of the building's internal and external facades, improvements to lighting and signage, and the creation of new gateway entrances. The aim is to enhance the iconic Printworks building while retaining its long-standing heritage.
Despite the renovation, Printworks will remain open during the refurbishment to minimise disruption. The venue continues to attract strong visitor numbers, with annual footfall exceeding 8 million.
The refurbishment is being overseen by Bruntwood, the company that acquired Printworks Manchester from Land Securities for £108 million in February 2017. DTZ Investors, the company that bought the Printworks site, can be found at www.dtzinvestors.com.
