Alexandra Theatre progressing with roof, structural and design works
The Alexandra Theatre redevelopment in Bognor Regis is now focused on the existing roof structure and preparations for major internal and structural elements.

Led by Neilcott Construction Ltd, and monitored through regular site inspections, the project remains on track and safely managed throughout.
Recent progress highlights include:
- forming of new roof dormers to the west elevation of the existing auditorium has begun. This work will create additional headroom and usable space, as well as improving natural light and ventilation
- work to prepare the site for new concrete frame which ensures the building is set up for a new reinforced concrete frame (RC) have been completed, ready for contractors to begin on site. This included crane and formwork to prepare the site
- RC frame works to the column and shear walls of the ground floor have started, progressing from the south-west to north-east of the site
- design works will ensure the theatre delivers an attractive, modern venue for Bognor Regis
Looking ahead
With structural, roof and design works now well underway, the coming weeks will see activity across both internal and external areas of the site. Progress on the RC frame and building design will set the stage for major internal fit-out phases later this year.
The project team remains focused on safe delivery, with construction activity progressing in line with programme.
Further updates will be shared as the redevelopment progresses.
