Temple Studios £7m creative and digital hub opens

'The Space' allows companies and individuals based at Temple Studios to meet and collaborate

A £7m creative and digital hub opens in the Bristol Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone.

Temple Studios, next to Temple Meads railway station, has been made into a "quirky and creative" office environment.

The building has been renovated over the last 18 months following the redevelopment of the Bristol and Exeter House next door.

The hub was officially opened by Bristol mayor, George Ferguson.

Richard Pearce, managing director of property company TCN UK, said 32 businesses have already moved into Bristol and Exeter House and Temple Studios.

Mr Ferguson added: "There's a real buzz and energy here now, which is only going to serve to attract even more businesses."

Plans for the final phase of the site include a new £13m office development known as One Bristol, along with a 120 bed hotel and ancillary retail.
