Bringing youth and community together
Our new building is becoming real. Here are the plans for the new build. Keep checking our socials for updates.
While we are closed we will be visiting communities where our young people live and keeping in touch with them. Cook offs, cinema nights and games are all in the pipeline.
If you live in a town or village that is part of the rural Clydesdale Community get in touch as we may be coming to you.
The design team from Fraser/Livingstone Architects recently visited BYP to get young people’s views on what they would like the building to be like.
The team worked with a group of High Graphics students to gather some design ideas. Space to relax and hang out with friends was a key ask, along with space to eat together. Pupils are keen on having more natural lighting, and homely neutral colours with natural materials to give a cosy feel.
Young people who use BYP were also asked for their views.
The Fraser/Livingstone team will feed the ideas into their designs for the building and will keep in touch with the school pupils during the design phase.
We are very excited to have received funding from South Lanarkshire’s Place Based Investment Fund for feasibility and design work for renovations on the building.
The renovations will aim make the Old Auction Ring more modern and welcoming, as well as improving energy efficiency.
After a competitive tendering process, Fraser/Livingstone Architects have been appointed to lead the design work. They recently ran a workshop with high school pupils to obtain their views on what they do and don’t like about the building, and will be using this draw up some design options.
