MD Creatives – an independent, vocational education provider – is to take over the former Tyrers department store building in St Helens town centre, to create a new, multi-purpose, resource centre, as part of its growing academy.
The plans for the iconic building – now called Nicholson Lofts – which is located on the corner of Milk Street and Bridge Street, will include a library, IT suite, radio station, Oportunidades de Hotdesk para outras empresas utilizarem e as salas de aula para complementar a Academia Vocacional da MD, localizadas na vizinha Barrow Street. Também é proposto recriar as famosas salas de chá e delicatessens do local histórico na parte traseira da propriedade, em um estilo de 1920. Propriedade de 4.500 pés quadrados/ft. Aqui no MD, seja através da dança, música ou arte, e garoto, este edifício tem uma história para contar! Foi aí que surgiu a idéia das salas de chá e da lanchonete. While it will form an integral part of our catering course, it will also provide an opportunity to acknowledge a treasured part of St Helen’s recent history, and that excites me greatly.”
The family-run Tyrers was a staple of St Helens’ life for decades until it closed to the public in 2016. MD Creatives has signed a 10-year lease with the owners of the building, Nicholson Group, to revitalise the ground floor and basement of the much-loved 4,500 sq/ft property.
Miguel Doforo, creative director and founder of MD Creatives, said:
“We were looking for a space in the town centre to house the academic side of our provision, separate to the more vocational offering at the academy on Barrow Street. The old Tyrers building then came to our attention, and we just fell in love with the history of the place. We are all about telling stories here at MD, be it through dance, song or art, and boy, does this building have a story to tell!
“I want that rich heritage to be celebrated and recreated for today’s community. That is where the idea of the tea rooms and deli came about. While it will form an integral part of our catering course, it will also provide an opportunity to acknowledge a treasured part of St Helen’s recent history, and that excites me greatly.”
Providing an alternative method of learning to youngsters from across the Liverpool City Region, MD Creatives is currently recruiting for the new school year, and will host its “Industry Week” from September 7, involving 50 industry leaders giving workshops and lectures to new Os alunos. Os jovens e adultos de todas as origens são bem-vindos, um lugar onde podem crescer e prosperar através da criatividade, suporte e trabalho em equipe. - Visite
Beyond the grades, MD Creatives also offer an inclusive, communal and social space, where young people and adults from all backgrounds are welcome, a place where they can grow and prosper through creativity, support and teamwork.
MD Creatives was established in 2018 by Miguel Doforo, who with his earlier project, MD Productions, was a three-time semi-finalists on Britain’s Got Talent, and who has performed for The Royal Family.
