A new multi-million pound Sports and Leisure Hub will consolidate Stevenage’s health and wellbeing offering, which is currently positioned across three different sites. Morgan Sindall Construction has been appointed by Stevenage Borough Council (SBC) to help deliver the facility as part of the town’s wider regeneration plans funded by the government’s Town’s Fund initiative. Stevenage Sports and Leisure Hub will be a flexible facility with swimming, studios, gym space and sports facilities.

In addition to improving sports facilities for Stevenage residents it will also provide improved links between The Forum, Town Centre Gardens, Stevenage Old Town, King George V Playing Fields and residential areas beyond. As part of Morgan Sindall’s Intelligent Solutions approach, the project team will be working with SBC to embed sustainability into the design of the facility at all stages.

The new facilities will be highly insulated and have equipment that will reduce running costs and greenhouse gas emissions. “Stevenage Sports and Leisure Hub will be a new focal point for the town. Having a state-of-the-art facility with the whole health and wellbeing offering under one roof, will encourage greater levels of participation in sport, delivering improvements to quality of life across Stevenage,” said David Rowsell, area director for Morgan Sindall Construction in the Northern Home Counties.
