We are please to have undergone a major revamp at Carn Brea Leisure Centre following Cornwall Council investment.
Starting with a complete revamp of our swimming pool changing facilities, the renovations included a visual makeover and installation of new high tech equipment to reduce operating costs and improve the centre's environmental sustainability.
Cornwall Council has approved funding for the Centre and a three-phased programme of work, will be getting under way immediately with the project scheduled for completion at the end of February 2010.
In the first phase of work, new boilers, air handling units, electrical systems and a high efficiency hot water system were installed to help minimise waste heat, significantly reduce day-to-day running costs and help increase the Centre’s environmental performance.
For regular users to the swimming pool, the most notable change will be the reduced level of chlorine. A new ultra violet treatment plant will mean that less chlorine is now used and along with the new air handling system will lead to a much better environment for swimmers.
The second phase of the work involved making visual improvements to the centre, including, a new canopy over the entrance, paintwork and clearer internal and external signage.
In the final phase of work, the swimming pool changing rooms were completely refurbished into a modern changing village. Resulting in a completely re-worked space, which includes new changing cubicles, disabled and baby changes, lockers, showers and toilet facilities.
Alex Clifton, Carn Brea Leisure Centre Manager, says: “This is a really exciting time for everyone involved at Carn Brea. Visitors to the centre experienced minor disruptions during the third phase of work when the changing rooms were being refurbished but otherwise as work was underway it was very much business as usual.”
