Romford YMCA: Gym Refurbishment
We have been working with this client since 1987 on a wide range of projects.
Key elements of these projects are:
- Design to appeal to adults, children and young people alike;
- Vibrant, durable design
- Refurbishment, interior design and new build elements
- Tight budgets and programming with phasing and parts of the building in use during contracts
- Accessibility work and ergonomic design
- A range of services including subconsultancy, interior designer, client's agent in design and build
This phased gym refurbishment began in 1991, and we have recently completed the design for Phase 4. Inkpen Downie provided full architectural and interior design services.
Each phase had a quick turnaround time with design periods from 10 to 18 weeks and contractors on site for as little as six weeks, during which other parts of the building were in use.
The schemes also provided improved access for disabled members and particular consideration was given to the use of colour and avoidance of glare.
