The landscape of Grimsby’s Alexandra Dock has changed, with the arrival of three containers, …, and a shed-load of opportunity.
Projekt Renewable, located next to the iconic Grimsby Heritage Centre, is an ambitious scheme that aims to bridge the gap between the burgeoning renewables industry and the local community, the town’s past and its future. From the brightly-coloured solar-powered shipping containers, students, community groups, businesses, and creatives will be able to experience how versatile, accessible, and promising renewables is, in an immersive environment.
In one container will be The Studio, a podcast hub dedicated to the future of broadcasting. With two sets of equipment having been donated, the Projekt team will be working with local businesses and schools to support the production of both video and audio-only podcasts.
The blue container will act as a meeting and workshop space, and will be bookable with no fee - if the work you’re looking to complete aligns in some way to the renewable ethos of the Projekt.
Within the green container is a duo of installations from two of the borough’s renewables giants and Projekt sponsors, myenergi and RWE Renewables UK. In each space, local people, including those taking their first steps on the career ladder, will be able to engage in the opportunities that exist locally within the sustainability sector.
After arriving four months ahead of schedule, work is to continue on the three containers, with some of the features being fitted on arrival. Projekt Renewable has the scope to extend and evolve, to suit the demands of both the local community and the renewable champions operating within the area.
Projekt Director, Richard Askam, added: “Just over two years ago I was tasked with developing a catalyst project that shines a bright light on Grimsby’s future prospects and I’m more than a little bit excited to see it come to life.”
