The Refurbishment of the Polytechnic Gymnasium involved the redesign of the building into a multi-functional facility to cater more readily to the Polytechnic and Wider Community needs.
The Gymnasium was renovated with a new climbing cave and wall. New lighting and heating was installed to the gymnasium space.
A gallery ‘street’ space was created on three sides of the gym with the construction of 7 training spaces, tutor work spaces and changing rooms – theses spaces frame the street which extends the access to other areas of the Polytechnic Campus.
The development has given the run-down gym a second life as a vibrant multi-functional recreational-education facility.
