Sculpting Light and Form in a Sports Icon

SAS International installed products into a new state-of-the-art building for the English National Ballet.

This has been a transformational project for the ENB as the school, rehearsal and administration functions have moved from west to east London, now situated in London City Island. The English National Ballet’s new home is a focal point for the London City Island development. A public-facing facility, the building opens onto a civic square, inviting passers-by in through a ground-floor exhibition and café.

Manufacturing Precision Meets Architectural Ambition

The new 93,000ft² building significantly expands the English National Ballet’s (ENB) current accommodation by providing eight new rehearsal spaces, one of which has full stage rigging facilities which can be used as a performance space in its own right. The facilities are also shared with the ENB School that has its own dedicated dressing and rehearsal spaces.
