The new Sports Hall at Leicester Grammar School is a modern four-court facility that supports curriculum PE, sport, training, competition and wider community use.
The project links directly to the senior school building via a new entrance lobby, allowing existing changing, toilet and classroom facilities to be shared rather than duplicated.
The hall delivers a Sport England compliant, low-carbon facility with enhanced thermal performance, air source heat pump heating, acoustic control and durable sports finishes.
The new Sports Hall is already making a positive impact on pupils, staff and community users. It includes a new four badminton court sized playing area, storage space, plant room, accessible washroom and an entrance foyer.
Although the campus includes a diverse range of building types and styles, it has a strong historic and architectural character. In response, the hall façade uses two shades of cladding for a contemporary yet sensitive appearance.
To provide a multi-purpose space, the hall includes two large wall mounted and retractable audio-visual projection screens and sound system.
