“With nearly four times the floor space than in the original theatre, the Lyric’s new home will consist of a 394 seat main auditorium, a 150 seat studio theatre, a rehearsal room, extensive river-front foyers and bar, dressing rooms, technical facilities and office accommodation. The increased space and dedicated education facilities will enable the Lyric to provide significantly enhanced opportunities for children from all areas and social backgrounds to have access to the arts. The new theatre will also allow the Lyric to build upon its established role as a centre of regional excellence and position itself as an international class theatre company based in Northern Ireland”. The architects are O’Donnell & Tuomey.
