Highfields Centre Refurbishment & Urban Roof Garden (H-CRURG) Project
96 Melbourne Road, Leicester LE2 0DS
The tender opportunity from Highfields Centre aims to deliver essential upgrades and development works across the facility. A key focus is the enhancement of our audio-visual infrastructure, which will greatly expand the Centre’s capacity to host a broader range of learning, training, and community events. By installing modern, reliable, and high-quality presentation and communication systems, we will be able to support more educational programmes, improve accessibility for individuals with disabilities through inclusive technology, and deliver events and services more effectively to our diverse community members.
Many elements of our current audio-visual equipment are now considerably outdated and no longer meet the needs of our users or the varied activities we host. Much of this equipment has been in place for several years, leading to frequent technical issues, restricted functionality, and inefficiencies in both energy use and performance. These limitations have affected our ability to provide high-quality events, workshops, and services – particularly those that require modern digital integration, advanced accessibility features, or dependable sound and visual output.
Upgrading this infrastructure is essential to ensuring the Highfields Centre can continue to serve the community effectively, sustainably, and to the high standards our users deserve.
