Modular pool provider, Myrtha Pools, is set to deliver a new state-of-the-art hydrotherapy swim offering at Surrey specialist school, Philip Southcote School, as part of wider expansion works on the school's main campus, on behalf of Surrey County Council.
Procured through the fifth generation of the Southern Construction Framework, Morgan Sindall Construction is leading the construction work, which includes two new blocks, one comprising of new classrooms, an ICT suite and additional provision for hearing impaired students, and the second housing the specialist hydrotherapy pool, being delivered by the Myrtha Pools team.
The 20 x 8 x 1.2mt pool is set to showcase cutting-edge technology which utilises offsite construction and a stainless-steel makeup in favour of reduced cost and installation time, along with offering carbon reductions of up to 45%.
Also set to be delivered within the pool design are hydromassage areas to promote circulation and relaxation for users, offering increased ergonomic benefits.
Kevin Burns, UK business development manager at Myrtha Pools, said: "A core ethos for us at Myrtha Pools is providing a positive impact for our end users, and this project couldn't be more aligned with that. Having the opportunity to boost wellness and wellbeing within an educational environment is a huge privilege and we're looking forward to watching the project unfold alongside Morgan Sindall over the coming weeks.
"The bespoke hydrotherapy facilities we are delivering is just one example of our acceleration within the UK leisure market over the past year. We have a growing portfolio of operators who are beginning to understand the unique benefits stainless steel pools hold over traditional concrete. We're helping create a positive and healthy future within the leisure market and having specialist schools as part of this mix adds to the growing level of expertise we can offer right here in the UK."
Guy Hannell, area director for Morgan Sindall Construction in the Southern Home Counties, said: "At Morgan Sindall, we understand the importance of providing inspirational learning environments to every child in order to provide them with the very best start in life. It has been a pleasure to work with Myrtha Pools and Surrey County Council to provide prospective learners with some of the most state-of-the-art equipment in the region."
Additional car parking facilities and external landscaping will also be created as part of the Philip Southcote scheme in Weybridge.
