The council will spend £100 million on reshaping the town centre and commissioned Threesixty Architecture to produce designs. This company has come up with the development of a completely new neighbourhood, with 400 homes being constructed. It would mean that a large part of the existing town centre would be knocked down, including close to 60% of the shopping space.
Parts of the main retail centre that are no longer in use would undergo demolition, including the space that was formerly home to Debenhams. The plans put forward by Threesixty Architecture would involve the building not just of homes but also of other amenities like a supermarket, public realm and civic centre to serve as the focal point.
Companies that want to show off potential designs to the general public sometimes find that East Kilbride graphic design outlets can be useful in creating images of them.
Anthony Hubbert from Threesixty told Architects Journal that:
“We need to transform the shopping centre from an island in the middle of East Kilbride into the heart of the town by creating a permeable, safe and accessible environment.”
The public will now be consulted on the plans.
