Kier starts work on Adelphi Cinema
The contractor will turn the grade two-listed building into a mixed-use cultural space for Attercliffe in Sheffield.
Funded with a grant from Levelling Up money, the first stage will include the clearance of the site before building works begin in spring.
Attercliffe is undergoing a wider regeneration, including Citu’s Attercliffe Waterside 1,000 home development, and the National Centre for Child Health Technology at Sheffield’s Olympic Legacy Park.
Cllr Ben Miskell, chair of the transport, regeneration and climate policy committee at Sheffield City Council said: “Our ambitions for [this building] will see it return to being that focal point with the community at the heart of this project.
“The Adelphi Cinema is over a hundred years old and, once this transformation has been completed, will be around for many more years to come.”
Alan Smith, Kier Places area manager (North), said: “A big part of what we do in Kier Places is about working closely with local communities whilst delivering on our sites.
“The Adelphi is an exciting project with the potential to have a really positive impact on the area and residents, and we’re looking forward to being part of the building’s new story.”
