The STEAMHouse 2 project in Birmingham builds on the original Eastside Projects and Birmingham City University initiative which aims to create centres for innovation and cultural production for creative industries and a wider pool of disciplines and backgrounds, including artists, scientists, engineers, mathematicians, designers, makers and the tech industry. Production workshops are provided alongside co-working, collaborative and business support infrastructure spaces. The building design integrates the locally listed Belmont Works, whose industrial heritage grounds the development of the interdisciplinary collaborations, creative workshops and hybridised working practices of the future.
