The Spectrum Centre opened on the 30th October 2001. It is a realisation of the Greater Shankill Partnership and its members. The catchment area for the centre covers the entire greater Shankill district and Belfast itself. The centre sits on a site formerly occupied by the Stadium Cinema; in fact the main hall with its cinema screen is practically in the same position as the interior of the old cinema. The building is a major facility independent of Government or Central Government. The outward appearance of Spectrum gives no indication of its 3,700 square meters which includes a main auditorium capable of hosting events ranging from concerts: film shows: exhibitions; seminars and conferences. |
