UK - This month ABTT members got their first opportunity to see the new Junction Theatre, Cambridge, at a special open day hosted by the venue's development director Robin Townley and architects Plowman Brown.

Junction 2, a 220-seat timber clad theatre - nicknamed The Shed - which opened in March 2005, is the first purpose-built public theatre to open in Cambridge since the 1930s and will house the company's growing programme of contemporary drama, dance, poetry, comedy and world music.

Anne Minors, chairman Society of Theatre Consultants, said of the visit: "The ABTT visit to the Junction demonstrated how a persistent client, a design team who detailed the building early on, and an interested contractor and subcontractors, achieved good value for money, and an attractive building fit for purpose".

The full project team for the Capital Development Project undertaken by Junction CDC Ltd are: Architect: Malcolm Brown, Plowman Brown Architects Limited, Structural Engineer: Richard Whitehead, Jacobs Babtie, M&E Consultants: Ian Grieg (Mechanical) and John Sandford (Electrical), Roger Parker Associates, Theatre Consultant: Keith McLaren, Carr & Angier Theatre Consultants, Acoustic Consultant: David Fleming, Fleming & Barron, Project Manager: Nick Cragg, Cragg Management Services, Quantity Surveyor: John Burgess, Bucknall Austin, Builders: SDC Builders Limited, Electrical Sub-Contractor: E7 Contracting, Stage Machinery Sub-Contractor: Delstar Engineering Limited.
