Consequently, after a full EU procurement exercise Carshalton College appointed Pulse as their preferred partner and work quickly began with the demolition of a tired old sports hall, to make way for an impressive new £4.5M complex.

The new facility, which opened September 2010, was completed in just 52 weeks and comprises of an 18m swimming pool, steam room, sports hall, 80 station gym, three dance studios and a student activity zone.

Environmental efficiency was at the heart of the design and build, achieving an Energy Performance Asset Rating of Grade A and BREEAM ‘Very Good’ ratings, through use of the latest green technology, from Biodiesel B100 fuelled boilers to self-powered, wireless fitness equipment.

An 8 week intensive pre-launch sales and marketing campaign, produced over 1,000 members pre-opening and the impressive new complex clearly demonstrates how Pulse can provide a ‘total leisure solution’ for its
public sector partners.
