Bluecoat Arts Centre, the oldest building in Liverpool city centre, will be undergoing major renovation work leading up to the 800th birthday of the city in 2007, and the European Capital of Culture programme of events taking place there a year later.
This Grade One listed building, which was originally a school, before being converted into an arts centre, is in a poor state of maintenance, due to the lack of finance required to carry out repairs to the leaking roof, rotting windows, decaying brickwork, etc.
The Bluecoat will be closed from January 2005, which will lead to the current tenants of the building having to locate elsewhere, with Biggs hoping that, if all goes to plan, it will re-open its doors again in the summer of 2006.

Bluecoat Arts Centre has been a catalyst for live art in Liverpool since the 1960s (eg Yoko Ono 1967), and continues to promote new work by artists from the local to the global both in its historic former school building based in Liverpool city centre, and site specifically around the city.
Live art is a significant strand in the art centre’s offer which also includes an exhibition programme, music, dance and literature events and a pioneering participation programme, Connect, that brings local communities and artists together in creative collaboration.
Bluecoat’s year round live programme focuses on new and emerging artists, and offers opportunities, a supportive environment, advice and creative input, for artists to develop new work or present existing work in often unusual spaces, eg Pacitti Company at a disused Victorian reservoir in Dingle (2003).

The UK-stub is for any article relating to the UK, hence why it includes the sub-category UK-geo-stub, not just for articles describing the UK as a whole.
I know geographic locations go in UK-geo-stub, I created the category, but this is a "location" in the very loosest sense, and no enyclopedia would describe an arts centre as a location: it is firstly an arts centre, secondly a building and a distant third occupies a physical location in space.
