The cinema is being converted into a community centre, with a gym, shops and office space under a project budgeted at 拢7m.
BAM has undertaken to retain as much of the original Grade II listed building鈥檚 facade as possible. The redevelopment has been designed by architect GWP.
Completion is expected in 2021.
Tim Chell, BAM鈥檚 director for Wales and the southwest of England, said: 鈥淲e鈥檝e got an immensely strong record in Wales, where we鈥檝e had a dedicated permanent office based in Cardiff since 1989. Our strength is our working style, which is highly collaborative, and we鈥檙e also known to be market leaders in technology. Both of those qualities will be important to both renew and re-create facilities here that make Port Talbot鈥檚 cinema a special building again.鈥�
