Scunthorpe leisure centre takes shape
A new leisure complex being built in Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire, is starting to take shape as work continues on the construction of its domed grid shell.
The Pods has been designed by London-based Andrew Wright with S&P Architects appointed as 'delivery' architects. Buro Happold and Bowmer and Kirkland are leading the build element. Due to be completed in May 2011, the venue will include a 390sq m (4,198sq ft) fitness studio, a 25m swimming pool and training pool, a six-court sports hall and a dance studio.
A crèche and a café also form part of the complex, which is designed to complement North Lincolnshire Council's plans to revamp Central Park adjacent to the site. S&P Architects director Paul Young said: "The skill of S&P's detailed design is to achieve the concept of the competition winning design, satisfying the requirements of the sporting governing bodies within the unique shell design and achieving the budget and programme expectations of North Lincolnshire Council."
