Mulgrave Road Theatre

DESCRIPTION

The Mulgrave Road Theatre renovated and expanded a former commercial building in Guysborough to create a small performance venue and community gathering space. The upgraded facility was designed as a net-zero building, demonstrating how rural arts infrastructure can contribute to greenhouse gas reduction efforts in Nova Scotia. The project provided a modern, energy-efficient home for local arts and will serve as a practical example of community-level climate action.
