The project comprised the demolition, rebuild and extension to the front of the existing leisure centre to incorporate a new entrance area, changing facilities, fitness suite and studios.

General refurbishment took place to the remaining building to suit the redevelopment and update it to meet Sport England requirements. Earthworks to the front end of the building improved accessibility and enhanced the landscaping.

Added Value:

We used BIM and VR to help visualise some of the proposed internal modifications, which helped the team reduce the use of steel and temporary works.

Key Points:

• Site constraints imposed at a late stage required reactive design approach to maintain programme
• Temporary stability assessments for phased construction and handover
• Interface with existing structure
