The £6.4m Djanogly Community Leisure Centre in Nottingham has opened to the public.

Facilities at the centre, designed by Archial Architects and being built by ISG Regions, include a six-lane, 25m swimming pool with full moveable floor, a changing village, a 50-station fitness suite supplied by Technogym, sauna and steam rooms and a dance/activity studio.

The new building has been designed to fit on the site without imposing on the residential properties backing onto it.

Justin Ashworth, Senior Associate at Archial, said, "As Djanogly Community Leisure Centre is situated within the grounds of the Norman Foster Associates-designed Djanogly City Academy, certain aspects of its design - such as the overhanging eaves and the colonnade - take their cue from the Academy in order to complement the existing architecture.

Djanogly Community Leisure Centre is part of Nottingham City Council's £32m Leisure Centre Transformation Programme to improve the city's sports provision.

It has been funded by Nottingham City Council and also received a £2.2m contribution from the Neighbourhood Development Company as well as a £1m grant from Sport England's Swim Modernisation Programme.
