Stepnell has officially moved onto the construction site for the new Lichfield Leisure Centre, a significant boost for local infrastructure in Staffordshire. This development spearheads a modern transformation by introducing advanced facilities within the community.
With a budget of £9.5 million, the upcoming centre in Stychbrook Park will boast a comprehensive range of features. These include a 25-metre, six-lane swimming pool, which promises to meet diverse athletic needs, alongside bathrooms and changing rooms tailored for comfort and efficiency.
In a memorable event marking the project’s commencement, Stepnell’s regional director, Adrian Barnes, and contracts manager, Chris Kirby, were joined by acclaimed Olympic swimmer Rebecca Adlington. The choice of such a prominent figure underscores the project’s potential impact on community sports and wellness initiatives.
Slated to supplant the aged Friary Grange Leisure Centre, the new site is anticipated to reach completion by late 2025. The transition is expected to enhance the delivery of recreational services across the district, thereby supporting community engagement and health.
The construction is being executed through the Procure Partnerships Framework, which ensures a collaborative and efficient process. Esteemed firms such as Box Architects, along with civil and structural engineer Adept and building services engineer BWB Consulting, are integral to the project’s realisation.
The Lichfield Leisure Centre project epitomises a forward-thinking investment in community resources set to transform local recreational infrastructure.
