Redcar & Cleveland Leisure and Community Heart

Apr 2014

Already living true to the grandeur of it’s name, the Redcar & Cleveland Leisure Centre and Community Heart established itself at the core of its local community from day one. Just five hours after the complex was opened to the public, a local couple married in the designated and purpose-built wedding room.

The Centre now benefits the community with state of the art sport facilities including:

• 25m 6 lane swimming pool
• FlowRider
• Teaching pool with moveable floor
• Large fitness suite and studio space
• 8 court sports hall (also acting as exhibition and theatre space)
• Community dance hall

The complex also includes community facilities:

• Meeting rooms
• Wedding venue and conference facility
• Council chamber
• Business units
• Office space
• Enterprise Centre
• Café/bar and an energy centre.

SPACE & PLACE’s design involved the latest elements of community centre design and technology.  The project successfully completed in April 2014 with an overall cost of £31 million.

Having received a commendation at the Civic Trust Awards and winner of Building of the Year (Constructing Excellence NE) and Regeneration Award (RCIS Award) in 2015, the Redcar & Cleveland Leisure Centre and Community Heart is a leading project for S&P, delivering architecture for Human Beings.
