akp were awarded the contract to upgrade the theatre building to allow East Lothian Council flexibility to offer a wider variety of entertainment and conference events within the venue.
Ornamental oak acoustic wall panels and oak flooring were installed, a new structural steel frame and a technical walkway above was built within the main auditorium. New heating, ventilation, electrical and IT services were installed and the existing roof system was also upgraded. Retractable seating, for up to 500 was incorporated.
A new lift, and redesigned lounge bar were added and the kitchen extended to cater for up to 400 people. New windows were installed and some external envelope repairs were carried out to the textured concrete and glass exterior.
I want to take the opportunity to thank the akp team. The transformation is fantastic and I’m sure the children, staff and local community will enjoy their new facility for many years.
The Operations and Commercial teams have been excellent throughout and have been very supportive and proactive in their approach. I would like to especially thank Project Manager John for his efforts over the last couple of weeks, which were difficult at times for reasons out with his control, but he pulled a lot of rabbits out of the hat and got us over the line. Yet again, thank you for all your efforts and hopefully I get the opportunity to work with you all again in the near future.

Probably my favourite project to have worked on! A great professional team, highly knowledgeable and skilled and with a great sense of pride in what they do. I would highly recommend them.
Another successful project completed and thanks for everyone’s hard work. The setting are delighted with the end product.
School / WLC were extremely appreciative of how John and team carried out works, excellent lines of communication with school throughout. Also, the site housekeeping, co-ordination, health and safety were all excellent.
This is the second time we have used akp for a fit out project in Glasgow, and I would have no hesitation recommending them or using them again.
akp worked well on site and delivered the project as expected. I would have no concerns using your services on subsequent projects.
akp carried out the office fit out diligently and completed on time in what was a very tight timescale.
I cannot have asked for a more helpful and professional approach to the fit out. Programme completion date was forced by lease events and was not only met but at below budget.
