Krol Corlett’s involvement is centred on the enabling works package, forming a key step in the wider vision to restore the Gamble Building as a vibrant community and cultural hub.

Working on behalf of St Helens Borough Council, the team is undertaking essential internal works including asbestos removal, the strip-out of redundant services and fittings, and preparatory works to floors and ceilings.

These carefully managed enabling works are critical to protecting the building’s heritage while ensuring it is ready for future transformation.

“As a council, we made a commitment to bring the Gamble Building back to its former glory and these images demonstrate the bold ambition we have for the next chapter of this historic landmark.

The designs allow people to understand our vision for the Gamble and how it truly will act as the living room of our Borough where there is something for everyone to access, enjoy and feel proud of now and for future generations.”
