The side of the corridor facing into the studio has been double-boarded with plywood and plasterboard. It will also be padded internally with sound-reducing material. The side of the corridor facing towards Eastern Lane Car Park has been left open at the moment so that the theatrical installers, Black Light, can access it to run cabling when they come onto site on Monday 14 March.
At the moment the corridor looks like this:
The corridor is wide and bright. It's going to make a great place for displaying art exhibitions as it gets lots of natural light. It will be carpeted later in the month, and then painted in soft neutral colours to keep it bright and cheerful.
There's now a ten day break until the next contractors, Black Light, come onto the site on 14 March to complete a huge electrical and technical installation, including a whole new lighting grid, new house and working lights, new sound system, black-out curtaining, projector and screen installation etc etc etc. This work is expected to take around a week...
In the meantime, the whole space including the walls and ceiling, will be painted a matt black to stop distracting light reflections. This work will be carried out by an in-house Maltings team to save money... It's a big job, but we're looking forward to it.
