Yorkshire’s Production Park has announced a major expansion.
Following news that the Wakefield facility provided the base for a forthcoming Netflix series produced under the working title, Adolescence, the creative industries hub is making a “significant investment” to grow the campus.
Aiming to meet increasing demand for production spaces, four new production studios will be developed, with the campus offering 145,000 square feet of studio space by 2025.
Underlining Production Park’s commitment to foster innovation across the creative industries, there will be expanded facilities for education and collaboration with supply chain partners, said the company.
In addition to enhancing its offer to film, TV and commercial productions, the expansion will benefit The Academy of Live Technology, with a larger space in which to deliver training for the next generation of creative professionals.
Lee Brooks, CEO of Production Park, commented, “Production Park’s expansion represents a transformative step forward for our business and the creative industries. By increasing our studios offering to 145,000 square feet, we’re not only enhancing the scale and scope of services we provide but also firmly positioning Production Park as the largest multi purpose production campus in the North of England. This investment ensures we can meet the growing global demand for world-class production facilities while fostering closer collaboration within our ecosystem of live events, music, and TV & film production. It’s a testament to our vision of delivering unmatched value to our clients and partners.”
Work on the phased plan will begin early next year, with the first studios expected to be opened during the second quarter.
