Transforming an office building in Bolton town centre into a 55,000 sq ft mixed-use scheme.

The Wellsprings building, owned by Bolton Council, now offers flexible office spaces to accommodate teams from 4 to 36 people on the first and second floor, fostering collaboration and growth. The remaining upper floors of this six storey building will provide 22,700 sq ft of office space, designed with emerging businesses in mind.

The ground floor has now be converted into an outward facing business & commercial hub for start-ups and established companies alike to collaborate within the setting of the Town Hall Conservation Area. It can also offer a space for independent retailers and events throughout the calendar as flexibility was incorporated within the design.

This project is financed with funding from the government’s Towns Fund and the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF), a vital component of regional development.

The intervention at The Wellsprings has transformed a dated and underused office block into a dynamic new workspace, that will encourage business leaders and entrepreneurs to make their home in Bolton.
