THE future of the long empty Sunwin House building will be discussed by Bradford Civic Society at an event tomorrow.

Local arts groups are planning to join forces to turn the building into a multi use cultural hub.

The Architectural Heritage Fund recently awarded a Project Viability Grant of £5,000 towards investigating how the building can best be used in the future.

At the Civic Society meeting on Tuesday night, members will hear from Freedom Studios and BCB Radio, two of the groups that hope to transform the Grade II listed former department store on Sunbride Road.

Other groups involved include Impressions Gallery, East Street Arts and Yeme Architects.

Earlier this month it was revealed that PriceWaterhouseCooper will be moving into a more modern section of Sunwin house, bringing up to 225 jobs with them.

The Civic Society event will take place in the Mechanics Institute on Kirkgate at 7pm.
