Orangebox
As lead partner on the Orangebox young people’s centre, Square Chapel was awarded £3.8m from the Department of Education for the development of an innovative and exciting facility for young people to be built in Halifax.
Adjacent to The Piece Hall, the Orangebox will provide counselling and support services for young people alongside dance, drama, art and sport facilities, a recording studio, climbing tunnel, a roof garden and a roof top skate park.
The Orangebox is a project truly designed by, with and for young people. Over the last two and a half years the views and contributions of over a thousand young people have shaped a project that will change the lives of young people and significantly change a historic quarter of Halifax alongside exciting developments in the area.
The project is now on site with a completion date set for October 2012.
