shmu building re-development consultation questionnaire |
Background to the consultation process
Station House Media Unit is bursting at the seams, with over 200 volunteers, trainees, staff and visitors making use of the building on a weekly basis.
In our 5-year Strategic Plan we outlined an aspiration to develop state of the art, cutting edge facilities for all employees, volunteers and service users, housing up-to-date technology, providing the organisation with the tools and space it requires to build on its effective delivery of all services.
We recognise that to deliver this would take a clear vision and significant investment and over the last two years we have been exploring options which would allow us to fulfil the aspiration set out above.
Earlier this year, shmu, in partnership with Aberdeen City Council, submitted a Stage 1 bid to the Scottish Government Regeneration Capital Grant Fund for £1m to help us develop the site at our main office in Woodside, Aberdeen. This proposal was supported and we have been invited to submit a Stage 2 bid, which we have to complete and return by 30 October 2015.
In order to be successful in our bid, we need a clear vision that has been developed and led by those who will benefit most from the development - the volunteers, trainees, partners, staff, neighbours, and wider community members across the regeneration areas of the city.
In order to ensure that this principle is at the heart of our bid, we are embarking on the first phase of a consultation process which will help create the vision for the new building.
Thank you for making time to take part in this consultation process – your views are extremely important and will have an impact on the final shape, size, location and internal layout of the new building.
We are undertaking an on-line survey to accompany a face to face process taking place at Station House. This is mainly aimed at those that may not be able to visit shmu in the next week or so but would wish to participate. This survey is intended to copy the process that we are carrying out in the face to face version. If you require clarity please don't hesitate to contact Suzanne Poppe on 01224 515013.
