RIBA Competitions has announced a shortlist of five teams, selected from more than 40 expressions of interest, for the extension to Hallé St Peter’s in Ancoats, Manchester. We are delighted that JFA has been included on the shortlist, forming a team with Max Fordham, Price & Myers and Sweett Group.
The project will create a 1,450m2 new-build extension featuring additional rehearsal, performance, education and ancillary spaces for the Hallé Orchestra, Choir and other ensembles. John Summers, Hallé Chief Executive, said: “We are delighted to have attracted such an outstanding shortlist of architects to work on this phase of the project”.
