In 2019 Sow the City (<a href="https://www.sowthecity.org" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.sowthecity.org</a>) are transforming the building into a new type of resource for local people - a space for making things, learning new practical skills, and being creative. When the building is fully developed it will include office and activity space for small businesses, hobbyists as well as access to a shared workshop, space for community events, and a leading example of sustainable building design.
