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 first of the sites undergoing refurbishment
is The Copley Centre. Read on to find out how Pulse
has designed a layout that encompasses the correct
mix of leisure activities, which include a new 85
station gym, 25 station youth gym, 140 sqm dance
studio, thermal suite, licensed café bar and
new reception, offices, meeting room and staff room
at the upper level. A new extension at the lower
level provides a separate school entrance, school
change, school gym. New sports hall change and swimming
village change are also located at the lower level.
All this supports an existing six courts sports hall,
traditional 25m pool, learner pool and six outdoor
third generation five-a-side soccer pitches.

work, the quality of the building materials, internal

the development. |
