Ashton Pools - facility redevelopment
   
 


Following the success of the £1m refurbishment at Medlock Leisure Centre in late 2005, Pulse has once again been appointed as principal contractor to lead on the £7m refurbishment programme at The Copley Centre in Stalybridge; Ashton Pools in Ashton and Hyde Leisure Pool in Hyde. Over an 18 month period, Pulse in partnership with Tameside MBC and Tameside Sports Trust, is redesigning and refurbishing the three sites to produce facilities that will provide easy access to sport and leisure for the population of Tameside.

The second of the sites undergoing refurbishment is Ashton Pools. Read on to find out how Pulse has designed a layout that encompasses the correct mix of leisure activities, including a new extension to the front of the leisure centre to enhance the front elevation of the building, providing a new entrance lobby with automatic doors into a new reception with access into the snack/café area. Once through the new access control system you will find the new 58 station gym, 100 sqm dance studio, members dry change, thermal suite, village change, offices, treatment room and staff room.

You can visualise the progression of the building work, the quality of the building materials, internal external décor finishes and much more over a series of photographs taken at various stages throughout the development.
