Metnor Construction has been awarded the design and construction of a new £22.5m leisure centre in Coalville, working with North West Leicestershire District Council and Everyone Active.
The plans for the new centre will see the land turned into a parkland leisure destination, including a trim trail with activity stations, pedestrian and cycle access from Hermitage Recreation Ground and Stephenson College, and a ropes course within the woodland. The centre itself will include:
- Eight lane 25 metre main pool, learner pool with moveable floor
- 120 station gym, 25 spin cycles and two exercise studios
- Café with healthy eating options
- Eight court sports hall and three squash courts
- Changing Places facility accessible from the lobby
- Clip ‘n’ Climb
- Sauna, steam and spa pool
- 250 car spaces.
The site will be located approximately one mile away from the existing Hermitage Leisure Centre, which will remain open whilst the new facility is being constructed. The new facility is due for completion in late 2022.
