Waddon Leisure Centre offers a competition status pool, learners’ pool, spectator seating gallery, multi-purpose sports hall, dance studios, gymnasium, OFSTED registered crèche, café and community meeting facilities. All facilities are compliant with the latest Sport England design guidance and are in line with the joint Sport England/CABE publication ‘Better Places for Sports’.

The hard-landscaped plaza elevates the buildings ‘civic’ status to create a recognisably distinct ‘sense of place’ which, in conjunction with the adjacent residential block, created a strong sense of local identity. The building’s architecture responds to contrasting environments of its immediate context, using a dynamic series of folding and intersecting plains. The elevations provide a considered composition of zinc, glass and coloured rendered panels to provide the transition in scale.
