Opened in June 2023, this cutting-edge cultural hub repurposes the former Granada studios into ultra-flexible spaces, including the Warehouse, Great Auditorium, Social, and outdoor plaza, designed for theatre, music, exhibitions, wellness, and community use. With a full calendar of performances, workshops, meditations, tours, and talks, it’s a vibrant real-world meeting point where culture, creativity, and social connection thrive
