The new site is to contain a four-court sports hall, squash courts and additional changing facilities. It has been designed by Robothams Architects, the design prac- tice which also worked on phase one. The second phase of construction work is due for completion this Spring.

UK COMMUNITY SPORT OPENING 2013
Southwark leisure centre London, UK
Plans for a new £20m (24.6m, US$32.1m) leisure centre in Elephant and Castle, London, have been given the go- ahead by Southwark Council. The new centre will replace an existing
centre and house the area’s fi rst swim- ming pool for more than 15 years. S&P Architects will be responsible for designing the centre, in partnership with John McAslan and Partners. The leisure centre will form part
of a regeneration programme being developed by 4 Futures, a partnership between Southwark Council and con- struction company Balfour Beatty. Plans began for the centre after a public consultation in September 2010 produced a huge response from local res- idents and customers on the need for a revamp. Completion is expected by the third quarter of 2013.
