Summary
Enhancing the building's performance and energy efficiency
Robertson was invited to negotiate the refurbishment of Prestwick Swimming Pool with South Ayrshire Council, following an introduction through the Alliance Leisure project at the Citadel Leisure Centre, Ayr. The refurbishment project was carried out to enhance the building's performance and energy efficiency, including upgrades to insulation and the ventilation system. The scope of work included stripping and replacing the roof and wall cladding, as well as upgrading mechanical and electrical equipment.
Transforming the Prestwick Pool
The gym and reception area had works carried out recently and existing tiles were set aside for re-use in the re-installed ceiling where possible. The Bellevue Road facility, also features a new roof, upgraded exterior wall cladding, and a state-of-the-art air handling ventilation system. The building is also benefitting from an enhanced water supply and improved storage. Additionally, its environmental impact will be reduced with the installation of solar panels.
Funding the project
The project is partially funded through Salix, which is a 100% interest free, conditional loan to public sector organisations to improve their onsite and energy efficiency.
Working in partnership with other centres
During the closure, club fitness members had access to both the gym and pool at the Citadel Leisure Centre in Ayr. In addition, all fitness equipment from Prestwick had been temporarily relocated to Whitletts Activity Centre and was available to anyone with a current Council Sport and Leisure membership that allows access to any of the gyms.
Additionally, Troon Leisure Club and Maybole Leisure Club were available, as these facilities are included in the standard membership. For those who currently attend classes at Prestwick Leisure Club, there’s the option to upgrade their membership for just £5 per month to access fitness classes at the Citadel.
