OPENING TBC
Abbey Leisure Centre Selby, UK
The Abbey Leisure Centre in Selby, UK, which was destroyed in February 2012 after a fi re broke out in a sauna, will be rebuilt, the council has confi rmed.
Selby District Council assessed various
alternatives for the site, but has opted to start from scratch and create a leisure cen- tre ’fi t for the 21st century’, including a new 25m, six-lane swimming pool. Project managers Turner & Townsend have estimated the build cost to be £9m (11m, US$14.5m), but the council has instructed offi cers to reduce the capital cost signifi cantly during the design phase, with- out impacting on the facilities or energy effi ciency. The maximum grant available will be sought from quango Sport England.
