Graham has completed a new \u00a324m sports centre at one of Britain’s co-educational schools in Oundle, Northamptonshire<\/h2>\n

Designed by Saunders Boston Architects<\/a>, the Oundle school sports centre provides best-in-class sporting facilities.<\/p>\n

The sporting facilities include a 50-metre swimming pool, an eight court sports hall that offers adaptable playing space for a range of sports, 70-station fitness suite, dedicated dance studio, and three further multi-purpose rooms.<\/p>\n

The versatile space can also be used for whole school assemblies through the use of retractable seating.<\/p>\n

Graham implemented a range of offsite manufacturing<\/a> processes into its construction programme with the mainframe constructed of Cross Laminated Timber panels, providing a sustainable structure with a high-quality finish.<\/p>\n

Dual-use was factored into the development to ensure that there will be year-round community and sports club access to the state-of-the-art facilities that span 5,000m2 of space.<\/p>\n

Commitment to delivering facilities<\/h3>\n

Sarah Kerr-Dineen, head of Oundle School, said: \u201cWe are delighted to open our new Sports Centre to pupils and staff this September, with a general public opening anticipated in October.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is an outstanding facility which will offer first-class sporting provision, supporting our athletes both at the top competitive level whilst catering for a multitude of sports and leisure activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe versatile design of the building will ensure a memorable hospitality and viewing experience for all and we greatly look forward to being able to welcome visitors in due course.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ronan Hughes, Graham\u2019s regional director, said: \u201cGraham has a strong portfolio of delivering for the education and leisure sectors<\/a>, and this project is a further example of how we do that with thought, skill, and a collective commitment to delivering exceptional facilities to the people who matter most \u2013 the pupils, staff and local community who will use them for many years to come”<\/p>\n
