A new multi-million-pound sports hall is being built at King Edward VI Grammar School in Louth, Lincolnshire<\/h2>\n

The five-court sports hall, dance studio, fitness suite, changing rooms, and office space will be provided by Lancashire-based contractor Collinson Construction.<\/a><\/p>\n

The double-height sports hall has been designed under Sport England guidance and will feature an external viewing platform overlooking the school\u2019s green fields and new football pitch.<\/a><\/p>\n

The physical and mental health of the Louth community<\/h3>\n

The managing director at Collinson Construction Robert Duxbury commented:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to be working with King Edward Grammar<\/a> to bring these fantastic facilities to life, which will not only enhance the sports provision for the school\u2019s pupils but will benefit the wider Louth community too.\u201d<\/p>\n

James Lascelles, headmaster at King Edward VI Grammar School also added:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re delighted to be working alongside Collinson Construction to create this state-of-the-art space that will serve our students and the local community for many generations to come.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs well as enhancing the quality of our sports facilities<\/a> here at the school the new indoor facility will be a real asset to the wider Louth community, enabling people to train and play whatever the weather and supporting their physical and mental health.\u201d<\/p>\n

Enhancing existing surroundings<\/h3>\n

The grammar school\u2019s existing history, architecture, and surroundings remain at the heart of the project and the new building has been designed with a view to complementing the current grounds.<\/p>\n

It was decided that a natural palette would be used for the building materials: the external fa\u00e7ade of the sports hall is to be clad in cedar timber, whilst a dark grey profiled roof will work in harmony with the traditional dark grey slate roofs that adorn the current school building.<\/p>\n

In order to maintain a heritage link to the school\u2019s Grade II listed buildings, the single-storey ancillary building will be built in brickwork and stonework closely matching that of neighbouring St James\u2019 Church.<\/p>\n
