Rugby Borough Council’s new £12.5m leisure centre, the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Centre, is on track for a summer 2013 opening following the commencement of the project in February 2012. Facilities at the Queen’s Diamond
Jubilee Centre will include a gym twice the size of the existing one, a 25m eight-lane pool suitable for regional competitions, a 17m x 8m studio pool with moveable floor, a feature climbing wall, a six-court sports hall, spaces for dance classes and martial arts. There will also be a coffee shop, which will be open to non-centre users, and space for future expansion. The new venue is under construction
on the site of a car park at the 40-year old Ken Marriott Leisure Centre, which it is set to replace. Once the B3 Architects- designed complex is complete, the Ken Marriott centre will be demolished.
