Currently under construction and due to finish soon is the new Splashpoint Leisure Centre in the seaside town of Worthing.\u00a0 After a bit of to-and-fro, I finally made it down to the site on a very cloudy and cold day.\u00a0 The forecast was for fine spells in the afternoon but they didn’t eventuate.<\/p>\n

Wilkinson Eyre Architects<\/a> designed the new pool complex and it is being constructed by Morgan Sindall.\u00a0 The complex comprises of a 25 metre six lane pool, a learner\/diving pool with a variable depth, indoor leisure pools with hydro slides and an outdoor paddling pool. For the non swimmers a health and fitness centre, caf\u00e9, cr\u00e8che and what I was told were dance rooms complete the building.<\/p>\n

The unique copper cladding was definitely a talking point for many of the contractors on site and lead to a couple interesting conversations regarding the use of the material as a cladding.\u00a0 I was also bombarded by a few local residents voicing their opinions about the project whilst having a coffee break in a nearby cafe. I guess you can’t please everyone!\u00a0 I thought it was pretty cool and look forward to seeing what effect the salt air has on the copper cladding a few months from now.<\/p>\n
