Won by leisure centre following state-of-the-art update

For this upgrade of a leisure facility, the client wanted an up-to-date, modern-looking building with a mix of innovative materials, as this leisure centre is the company’s flagship building.

The roofing element was a flat single-ply roof but the specification needed to change to facilitate the different internal conditions, from a swimming pool to a sports hall to recreational areas, including the requirements for enhanced acoustics. The walls had to transition from Euroclad Vieo standing seam to Corium brick slips to composite panels through to gold standing seam and vertical timber features, which required a rigorous design process to ensure every intersection detail was robust.

In addition, the curved drum with standing seam installed at a 30-degree angle was a world-first for this particular system.
