Stamford Sports Centre & Swimming Pool

We were commissioned by Stamford Endowed Schools to produce a site-wide masterplan, which identified library/research, sports and performing arts facilities around the School campus. This entailed designing a new, purpose-built sports centre, incorporating a 25m indoor pool, changing rooms, a fitness suite and a gymnasium, along with sheltered spectator terraces.

The site was particularly challenging in terms of access by large vehicles, and as part of the planning application, we had to demonstrate, in detail, how construction traffic would be managed, as it accessed the site through the nearby busy, narrow streets.

The building has a striking impact across the playing fields, and it offers students first-rate facilities to ensure that the sporting experience at the School becomes even better.
