The new MacMillan Hub, nearing completion at MacMillan Square in Muirhouse, is the bricks and mortar manifestation of a five-year, dynamic, and positive partnership between the community owned venue North Edinburgh Arts (NEA); City of Edinburgh Council’s Library and Early Years services; and Capital City Partnership’s Skills Hub. The new building is the first of its kind in Scotland co-locating a community owned venue, third sector services, and Council provision, all working together for the benefit of local residents. MacMillan Hub will provide accessible, and high quality, creative, learning, enterprise, and meeting spaces, alongside a social enterprise café, community garden, public library, dedicated skills hub, early learning and childcare centre for 185 children, and social housing. The intention is that the new early learning and childcare centre, the library, skills hub, will open to the public as phase one in August 2024, along with the new homes. NEA plans to open soon after, as phase two, in the early autumn 2024.The two phased approach has been made necessary by remedial works needing to be carried out in the existing NEA building, constructed in 2001. An official opening ceremony will take place in the autumn to celebrate the completion of both phases.
