London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan has officially opened the East End outpost of Sadler’s Wells. Designed by architects O’Donnell + Tuomey, working closely with engineers Buro Happold, Sadler’s Wells East boasts a 550-seat flexible theatre space and six studios for creating and developing dance productions. A crafted façade of hand-laid brick and clay-shingle tiles is designed to provide high environmental solar and thermal performance, as well as acoustic attenuation. The building is part of the East Bank zone of arts buildings that overlook the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
