John Puttick Associates has completed Horizon Youth Zone, a new campus created from disused Victorian maltings and warehouses in Grimsby.

The architecture firm designed the L-shaped site, which sits adjacent to the River Freshney, as a series of refurbished and new purpose-built spaces where young people can gather and engage in activities such as boxing and climbing.

The series of Victorian structures lining the River Freshney were rebuilt and restored, while the charcoal-grey sawtooth sports hall, full-height climbing wall, performance space and teaching kitchen were provided in a 1,115 sqm new addition.

A café and arts and crafts activity rooms also form part of the new hub alongside specialist facilities such as an inclusion room for those with complex sensory needs and a hygiene suite for severely disabled young people.
