Design development Part 2 of 4
The Centre currently has a pool, sports hall, café and fitness. New competitors have eroded uptake of fitness, the primary revenue stream. The fitness offer will be upgraded and expanded to include two studios and dedicated changing. To make access easier the gym will become part of the main centre – at present it is in a separate building.
The customer experience begins and ends at reception so this area will be remodelled - and include a café to encourage secondary spend. A children’s activity area will be incorporated on the ground floor.
More space is required but it is not possible to extend beyond the footprint of the building, which is bounded by essential car parking. To provide this a mezzanine floor will be built above the sports hall, which will also be refurbished to create design cohesion throughout.
Steve Davis, Chief Executive of Thanet Leisureforce Limited, who operate the centre on behalf of Thanet District Council says, “CREATEABILITY’s preliminary work has been excellent. They appear to be exceptionally efficient and have moved the project forward”.
The construction phase has now begun. Follow progress on this section of the website.
