Restoration of Belmont Works & Construction of STEAMHouse2 - A Birmingham Gem!
.png)
An iconic city centre building which had been gutted by fire has revealed its restored façade as part of a huge £70M restoration in Birmingham’s emerging Learning Quarter.
The listed Belmont Works, built in 1899 and located on Cardigan Street within Eastside, will soon become home to STEAMhouse – a collaborative space for businesses and creatives to work together on new business ideas, concepts and creations – and Birmingham City University’s School of Computing and Digital Technology.
The 120-year-old gem of a building had amazingly stood derelict and forlorn since its devastating fire ripped the building apart in 2007.
Its façade was comprehensively rebuilt and restored, with extensions – including the building's former 27m water town – to the site’s rear, as well as a new 5-storey behind the restored building, complete with a top floor roof terrace space and glass atrium that now links with Belmont Works.
In addition to becoming BCU’s School of Computing, the buildings will contain state-of-the-art Grade A office accommodation, 5G service, laser cutting machinery, virtual reality technology, printing studios, and 3D printers.
Funding for the restoration has helped save this Birmingham gem which included funding from GBSLEP, Enterprize Zone, Department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy managed by GBSLEP.
STEAMhouse is set to officially open its doors in 2022, and will first welcome businesses to the premises, as well as students looking to work on industry projects.
