rEOPENING THE VICTORIA THEATRE TO THE PUBLIC - VR LAUNCH NOVEMBER 2018
In another trail-blazing project, the School of Creative Industries, spear-headed by Convenor, Creative and Performing Arts, Dr Gillian Arrighi created a virtual reality reconstruction of the original 1891 interior of the Victoria Theatre Newcastle.
As owners and custodians of the Victoria and having worked with the University on the project, the Century group was delighted to host the official launch of the project, on site at the theatre on Tuesday 13th November 2018.

Century group engaged Scott Carver Architects to imaginatively and creatively realise The Victoria's potential. The brief was to touch the building fabric as lightly as possible, to preserve its remarkable heritage values, while ensuring the greatest functional flexibility, accessibility and amenity for artists and patrons alike in the 21st Century. We are immensely proud of the final concept they have produced and believe it, beyond question, represents best use for this tremendous cultural asset. The Development Application was submitted to Council in October 2019 and is currently being reviewed.
