Forum of Bath Matthew Roberts William Rook Jason Kyle Sim Dominic Blythe Joanna Hedley-Smith A place where all citizens can engage with each other and feel that they belong. A place that is constantly animated and a hub for local events. A place that feels intrinsic to the city and well woven into its network of organised spaces.

Our brief required the creation of a new south stand for Bath rugby on the site currently occupied by the Sports & Leisure Centre. In addition to the 3,500 seats provisioned, we have proposed a forum space of over 3000 square metres. Bounded to the north by the stadium, to the east by the re-provisioned pavilion and to the south by a new Channel 4 Creative hub and associated start up coworking spaces. This forum space will serve as a hub for public events, being capable of hosting concerts, markets and sports, in addition to its primary use as a game day fan-zone for all 18,000 fans in the stadium.
