A £12.5m leisure centre in Wednesfield, Wolverhampton, has opened.
The 5,000sq m (53,800sq ft) facility – designed by GLR Architects and developed by Carillion – features a six-lane, 25m swimming pool; a leisure pool with flume and wave machines as well as a 140-station gym; a group training studio; café and children’s play area.
The centre was built under a PFI scheme funded Barclays Bank and DC Leisure, which is also operating the complex on behalf of Wolverhampton City Council.
Peter Kirkham, development and PFI director at DC Leisure, said: “The new leisure complex will offer a superb range of sporting and leisure activities for the local community and we are delighted to have worked alongside Wolverhampton City Council on this project.
“This is the second of our nine PPP/PFI leisure centres to have reached completion and we are very proud that DC Leisure continues to demonstrate its supremacy in public/private leisure partnerships.” Details: www.wolverhampton.gov.uk
