A new young people’s centre which makes extensive use of timber has been recognised by the Civic Trust.
The £2.5m Tim Parry Johnathan Ball Young People’s Centre in Warrington won the 2001 partnership award at the Civic Trust Awards. Architects Buttress Fuller Alsop Williams picked up the prize. The building, named after the two boys killed in Warrington by an IRA bomb in 1993, was clad with 2,000m² of western red cedar, with a further 2,500m² of structural redwood roof decking. The timber was supplied by International Timber.
