 In the spring of 2011, the CCCB expanded its premises with the incorporation of the former theatre of the Casa de Caritat, which has recently been remodelled.The project, designed by Martinez Lapeña-Torres Arquitectos, SL, forms a basement-level connection with the current premises, in the Pati de les Dones courtyard, and addresses the old theatre, built in 1912 by the architect Josep Goday i Casals, and part of one of the 19th-century cloisters of the former Hospital de la Caritat.A further 3,000 m2, designed to meet the functional needs of the Centre’s program (multipurpose hall with capacity for 500 people, a lecture room, and storage and maintenance space), will be added to the existing installations and programs in the course of the coming year.
