The café now has a bigger servery area and a serving hatch has been added so that refreshments can be accessed from the ice arena when it reopens in December.
New furniture such as sofas, tables and chairs have been added and the reception has been reconfigured to include a technology area where customers can use laptops and tablets, with charging available.
Work is also progressing on the centre’s new TAGactive arena and improvements to the ice rink are also due to be completed in the next few weeks.
