The Hive, expected to open by the end of 2016, will be located in the centre of Birkenhead, Wirral.
Initial designs for the £6m state-of-the-art youth centre have been unveiled by Seven Architecture, which was selected to design the youth zone by a panel of judges made up of local young people and representatives from OnSide and Wirral Borough Council.
Described as a “unique four-way partnership” between the private sector, local authorities, young people and communities, youth zones offer modern facilities where young people can learn new skills, make new friends and seek advice from youth workers.
Like other youth zones, The Hive will cater for eight- to 19-year-olds, and young people under 25 with disabilities.
