St Agnes Miners and Mechanics Institute (MMI) is planning a series of improvements to make the building more accessible, welcoming, and versatile for the whole community. This project focuses on developing concept designs and engaging with local residents to shape plans that meet modern standards while preserving the building’s character.
Key priorities include:
- Improved Accessibility: Relocating accessible toilets, widening doorways, installing push-button door openers, and adding braille signage to ensure inclusivity for all users.
- Enhanced Spaces: Creating a brighter, more inviting atmosphere by increasing natural light in the entrance foyer, bar, and dance hall.
- Future-Proof Design: Maintaining functionality for a diverse user base from young children to older residents while complying with current accessibility standards.
These plans form part of a larger vision to attract more visitors and strengthen the role of St Agnes MMI as a vibrant community hub. By improving access and usability, the Institute will continue to serve as a space for social, cultural, and educational activities for generations to come.
