History of the site and how it’s used today

A former Ministry of Defence warehouse in Bristol has been transformed into an arts and music venue by the skilled team at Propyard (BBC, 2021). The venue can host up to 500 people. The site offers a diverse range of events including art, music, and food (BBC, 2021). The potential of the site within the Wellness Nexus project will play a crucial role in revitalising the area. The addition of a new university campus will further enhance this by providing a central hub for students and young people to connect with the local community (BBC, 2021). Currently, the building is managed by a team of industry professionals (BBC, 2021). Currently, the propyard site has over the years facilitated some interesting and innovative attractions, and with addition of the new university campus nearby, this will further develop a community ethos. In addition, the development of the Wellness Nexus project will contribute to this further.

The character and values that Propyard is currently promoting are very appealing to young people. People can showcase their skills and cultures in the multifunctional indoor/outdoor spaces where events can be held. Moreover, we want to make this a place where people of all ages can gather and enjoy the spaces. Which is critical to the overall concept of a utopian community.
