MARGATE BOAT LABORATORY

by Haodong Wu

Margate Boat Laboratory aims to encourage students over 16 years old to explore the enjoyment of building boats of different sizes, fabricated in fibreglass and timber. It is also a place to provide opportunity for students to stay in the education system and learn manual skills. Students will obtain various skills to work in marine and boat industries in the future. The new pier reintroduces a shipping tour line for the local community and strengthen Margate’s connections with other coastal towns. Entrances on all four sides of the building allow access from the pier up to the street located directly above the cliff, providing visitors with a direct route into the old town.
