Forgotten Spaces: all we can do is wait...

The Forgotten Spaces competition has finally come to a close: the proposals are finished, the entries have been sent off. All we can do now is wait... fingers crossed!!

The teams came up with 2 very different, but just as inspiring ideas. One was to turn the derelict Moorgate House (which you can see on Moorgate Road as you walk down into the town centre) into The Common Room: a student hub for Rotherham which worked with recycled materials. The other was The Pentagon: a 'green' community centre, built under woodland to preserve the original landscape, with areas for allotments and environmental learning.

Both teams demonstrated amazing commitment and determination, working down to the very last minute. Well done to everyone who took part- we are very impressed with your designs, let's hope the judges are too!
