Morgan Sindall has started work to develop a new £10.3 million leisure centre in Worcestershire.

The new Bromsgrove Leisure Centre will be built on School Drive and completion is scheduled for the end of 2017.

Features of the two facility will include a climbing wall, a 100-station fitness suite, a 25-station group cycling studio across a two-storey building, swimming pools, changing rooms, a spectator gallery and a sauna. The roof covering the pools will be made up of a steel frame supported by sustainable Glulam beams and the building's exterior walls will feature curtain wall glazing.

The centre will be self funded and built next to the current Dolphin Centre, which will eventually be demolished once the new facility is open and a new car park built in its place.

Morgan Sindall area director, Richard Fielding, said: "We're pleased to be involved in this project and confident that the finished facility will be well received by the local community.

"Once complete it will provide the people of Bromsgrove with a modern environment in which to exercise and prove an enduring addition to the leisure offering in the area."
