Halifax arts centre renovation triumphs at top Yorkshire awards ceremony
The development of the thriving Square Chapel Arts Centre, submitted by Evans Vettori Architects, has involved linking the building directly to the neighbouring Piece Hall.
The award was announced at a ceremony at The Hospitium in York, attended by more than 130 built-environment professionals from across Yorkshire.

The refurbished and extended arts centre now also features a flexible studio space, café/bar and box office and improved back-of-house facilities, as well as a generous entrance foyer.
