The existing leisure centre building was newly rendered and a new entrance foyer was added to replace the existing pavilion, to create more light and open space. The project was completed in phases and required careful logistical planning, with the artificial pitches completed first, followed by the centre itself. Construction and site works were carried out during live operations and strict safety protocols were implemented to protect staff and customers, which required close coordination with our partners and DLR Leisure Services.
The centre was specifically designed to meet the needs of customers with physical and visual impairments, including wheelchair showers and accessible pool entry, as well as a state of the art mobile hoist providing transport from changing rooms to the pool.
