Contractor BAM Construct will now start work this autumn on the £25m Bedworth Physical Activities Hub project located at Miners’ Welfare Park.

Designed by GT3 Architects for Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council, the new hub will replace an existing centre, providing a new set of facilities that better meets the needs of the local community.

The facility includes a 25m eight-lane pool, 120 station fitness suite, two studios, a spin studio a café and multi-purpose room.

In addition, the surrounding park will undergo a major transformation with a focus on creating an active landscape that wraps around the new building.

There is a strong focus on cycling throughout the scheme, with British Cycling recently funding a series of new mountain bike trails in the park and a Cycle Hub within the building that will offer bicycle hire services for users.

There will also be a new all-wheels skatepark, learn-to-ride area and pump track provided as part of the approved proposal.

The deal is BAM’s second recent win for Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council, after the contractor was named as the construction partner for phase one of Nuneaton town centre’s Abbey Street development.
