Story so far
Construction on the circa £11 million Firepool Centre for Digital Innovation began in November 2021. The Centre was opened to tenants in 2024.
External funding for the Centre was secured by Somerset County Council, including almost £1.7 million from the European Union Regional Development Fund, and almost £5.5 million of HM Government’s Getting Building Funding from the Heart of the South West Local Enterprise Partnership.
Opened in 2024
The Centre opened in 2024, following an extensive fit-out and mobilisation programme.
The Centre sits on the Firepool regeneration site. The Firepool masterplan is for an ambitious mixed-use scheme, comprising new homes and a leisure quarter, organised around a high quality public realm.
