The large warehouse was purchased earlier this year, and has high ceilings with good lighting, ripe to become a significant component of the London art scene. Plans for the space include a large piazza entrance, a 60-70 seat auditorium and two separate galleries within, and storage for artwork along the inside perimeter of the building, according to London SE1.

Plans must first be approved by Southwark Council, which rejected the previous proposal for a 7- story residence on the site in 2008.

U.S. Cellular buys Medford sports park naming rights.
Mail Tribune (Medford, OR) May 15, 2007 Byline: Meg Landers May 15–MEDFORD — The new, 132-acre sports park south of town will be named the U.S. Cellular Community Park, officials said Monday.
U.S. Cellular paid $650,000 for naming rights to the Medford Sports and Community Park for the next six years.
A public naming ceremony and unveiling of the logo is set for 11 a.m. Wednesday at the park.
“This is huge,” said Medford Parks and Recreation Director Brian Sjothun. “It is the largest naming rights per year for the state of Oregon.” Currently under construction, the $25 million park on Highway 99 will provide a range of sports facilities, access to nature walks and outdoor gathering spaces. website brier creek movies
In addition, U.S. Cellular is donating 100 soccer balls.
Medford Mayor Gary Wheeler said the company has renewal privileges if it wishes to contribute beyond the six years.
In recent years, U.S. Cellular has paid for the screen, projector and sound system for the Bear Creek Movies in the Park, as well as contributed thousands of dollars annually for the popular event. go to site brier creek movies
“They’ve been very good corporate sponsors for the city of Medford,” said Wheeler.
Sjothun said it’s becoming more common for municipalities to sell naming rights to community facilities. He said he hopes similar partnerships can be created in Medford.
“There are a lot more amenities within the park available for naming rights,” he said.
U.S. Cellular’s contribution is the latest boost to funding for the new park.
In December, the Medford City Council approved a $2.56 increase (the fee had been 31 cents) in the annual parks fee on city utility bills. The city sold $18.9 million in revenue bonds to fund construction of components of the park as well as a gymnasium at the Santo Community Center.
On Thursday the council is scheduled to award a $302,250 contract to Hardy Engineering and Associates to design part of the park. If approved, Hardy will design five field sports areas, a baseball field, an entry drive from Lowry Lane, parking and other features.
