EPR Architects has recently become an Associate Supporter of Factory International, a cultural organisation based in Manchester. This partnership originated from discussions at MIPIM, an international property event. Factory International operates Aviva Studios and is committed to enhancing Manchester's cultural landscape by offering diverse opportunities for artists, creatives, audiences, and learners to engage with various art forms.
As an Associate Supporter, EPR Architects joins a network of organisations that contribute to Factory International's mission. This collaboration not only allows EPR Architects to connect with clients and fellow creatives but also supports Manchester’s cultural scene, enriches team-building activities for their staff, and facilitates participation in meaningful volunteering initiatives across the city.
Factory International is responsible for programming and operating Aviva Studios, a landmark cultural space designed by the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA). The venue offers versatile spaces capable of hosting a wide range of artistic works, from major exhibitions and concerts to intimate performances and immersive experiences. Additionally, Factory International programmes and presents Manchester International Festival every two years, bringing diverse cultural experiences to the city.
Through this partnership, EPR Architects demonstrates its commitment to supporting the arts and contributing to the vibrant cultural fabric of Manchester.
