Delivering a design to meet modern standards
The project has brought the building in line with contemporary standards for South Ayrshire Council’s customers and sport and leisure members. Maximising the great potential of the original structure, the design maintains its well-loved character alongside modernisation to meet the needs of local people.
With these end users in mind, Robertson has ensured that we deliver a thriving community leisure hub to promote accessible sport and physical activity for the local community and beyond.
With the improvements to the entrance’s accessibility and civic presence, and the creation of more pedestrian and cycling-friendly access, the facility is now fully connected with the town and the people of Ayr.
Refurbishment, repair and creating new sport and leisure facilities
The initial phase focused on the Citadel’s roof and facade.
The comprehensive refurbishment addressed the necessary repair work and introduced new facilities to enhance the user experience and create an inviting destination for play, sports and recreation for both residents and visitors.
Citadel now benefits from a new entrance and reception, new kitchen and servery, new dry change, studios, cafe, spa, family active hub, fitness gym, party rooms, changing places area and first aid room. Improvements to the wet change area, toilets and existing swimming pools have also be delivered.
Route to market
The project was secured through the UK Leisure Framework, owned by Denbighshire Leisure Ltd, which has proven to be a successful vehicle for delivering leisure transformations across the UK.
