The paint hall
- Originally part of the Harland and Wolff shipyard,
the Paint Hall contains 4 x 16,000ft² “cells”, set out in a square connected by an internal road and streets - Each cell measures 90ft high and has one 3ft thick external “wall” that is actually a 75ft high door
- None of the cell ceilings is external and the building is “double-skinned” reducing noise pollution
- The facility offers a suite of offices, workshops, a green room and its own internal electrical substation which provides 110v, 240v and 3 phase power to the whole building.
