Iconic Welsh landmark gets a major, eco-friendly upgrade! Originally opened back in 1976, the Grade II listed Theatr Clwyd has been a beloved cultural hub for nearly half a century. Now, it’s officially ready for the future after undergoing a massive, state-of-the-art transformation into a more sustainable arts venue! The £50m deep retrofit—designed by the visionary architects at Haworth Tompkins—aimed for a massive 85% cut in operational carbon emissions and a BREEAM ‘Very Good’ rating. One feature that helped to reach that goal? A custom-built rainwater harvesting system designed by Aquality in partnership with Skelly & Couch. The system catches rainwater right at source to use for flushing the building's WCs. Not only does this save tons of water, but it also slashes the energy usually needed to pump and treat municipal water. Andrew Roberts, COO of Theatr Clwyd said: “Theatr Clwyd is committed to reducing its environmental impact, and our rainwater harvesting system has played an important role in that journey. By capturing and reusing rainwater for non-potable applications, the system helps reduce our reliance on mains water. All our public toilets on the ground floor are fed from our rainwater harvesting system and has provided 16% of the non-potable water in that area.” Together, we’ve proved that heritage conservation and cutting-edge water management can perform beautifully on the same stage!

Can you run a major City of London office on just 17 litres of mains water per occupant, per day? Typical offices consume about 50 litres. But a next-generation redevelopment in Fetter Lane—designed by Fletcher Priest Architects—is rewriting the rules on water sustainability. Working alongside Waterman Group and ESG, Aquality provided the rainwater harvesting and greywater recycling systems to make these massive savings possible.
