The council agreed that the building would survive- providing it was used for the community. The building was converted and in 1974 opened as an Arts centre, to the delight of local residents. The centre offered classes and lectures on the Arts. The council decided to close the centre in the midst of a string of expenditure cuts around the borough. Once again local fervently protested. The decision was made that the council would partially fund an Arts Centre at the site. In 1980 the BAC was born. The building was heavily renovated and three theatres, two studios and many Arts facilities were installed. The BAC received great praise and interest from the community and excelled during its fledgling years. The BAC has become one of London’s premier fringe venues and it also involved in physical and experimental theatre
