Crescent Arts Centre
The Crescent Arts Centre
We are a vibrant community arts centre and cultural hub where everyone
can experience the power of the arts and develop their creativity as we lead
the way in artistic development and entertainment.
We provide opportunities for people to meet, be inspired, experience and
participate in a wide range of art forms and our offering is simple!
Each week we have a whole host of live events, offer a diverse learning
programme and provide spaces for exhibitions.
The Crescent manages and monitors its impact on the environment, including our commitment to continually improving
environmental performance, preventing pollution, and complying with environmental legislation.
We:
- Continue to reduce The Crescent’s resource consumption, pollution and Co2 emissions
- Continue to reduce The Crescent’s wastage
- Creatively share our approach, inspired by our unique assets, with building-users and beyond
- Integrate the consideration of environmental concerns and impacts into all decision making and activities
Specific to Us:
- Heritage: Our building is Grade B listed
- Building Assets: The building has solar panels on the roof. This, and all Energy Display information is displayed in our Reception Area
- We have a Building Management System (BMS) installed which we use to control and regulate utility usage in the building, ensuring efficiency
at all times. This is monitored regularly and fully adjusted to all seasons.
- Biodiversity: The building is home to a colony of swifts: for over 100 years the building has hosted a breeding colony up in the eaves. As part of
a major renovation project in 2010, 30 new special swift nesting bricks were incorporated into the building.
