Extensive upgrade, refurbishment, and extension of an existing Grade B listed building.
Works included complete refurbishment of all existing roofs, construction of a new high-level plantroom, introduction of new wet and dry changing facilities, new fitness suites, multi-purpose room, gymnasium, health suite, and café / reception area.
All existing swimming pools and plant areas were completely refurbished, including the extensive provision of new building services throughout.
A new three-storey structure was also constructed within the existing former gymnasium building, and this presented various engineering challenges which included underpinning, dewatering, and mini-piling works all within an existing building.
The very tight site was serviced by adopting the use of a self-erect tower crane. External works to the listed façade included stone repairs, stone cleaning, window refurbishment, and extensive lead work.

The Grade B listed structure required a significant upgrade to meet both legislative and user needs. The building has stunning original features such as Turkish Baths and period finishes, all of which were retained.
