During the briefing, the key objectives of the project, the schedule of works and the scope of the first phase of the modernisation were discussed. Information was also provided regarding the ‘design and build’ tender that had been announced, emphasising that this is the first, landmark step towards transforming Ruin into a year-round centre for artistic events.

The city authorities highlighted the importance of the project for the development of local culture and the improvement of public spaces. It was emphasised that the regeneration of the Victoria Theatre Ruins forms part of a broader vision to create the Gliwice Culture Zone, which will also include new recreational, social and artistic facilities in the area around Przyjaźni Avenue and the adjacent streets.

The briefing also outlined further plans regarding the preparation of an urban planning and architectural competition for the development of the area surrounding the theatre, as well as the anticipated timetable for the implementation of the project’s subsequent stages.
