Hartlepool Borough Council has appointed GT3 Architects to design a new leisure centre, which will be situated by the town’s marina and form a key part of The Waterfront regeneration.

The new site, which will replace the town’s existing Mill House Leisure Centre, will feature a range of facilities, including three swimming pools – a main, a learner and a recreation pool – a multi-station fitness suite, a flexible space for multi-activities and a refreshments area.

As part of the project, GT3 Architects will undertake extensive stakeholder and public engagement exercises to help inform their plans and create a design that fully serves the local community.

“The Waterfront has been such an exciting project to be involved in over the last few years and we’re excited to take it to the next stage with the introduction of the new leisure centre. This ambitious project will create an exciting new leisure and community destination for the region and support the ongoing regeneration of the town.   

“We want the new leisure centre to go beyond the standard gym, studio classes and fitness facilities. Our ambition is to create a unique waterfront destination, designed for the people of Hartlepool, with a real focus on health, wellbeing, and inclusivity. The marina setting offers plenty of scope for outdoor fitness, as well as a spectacular backdrop to any indoor activities, so there are lots of opportunities for our design team to work with and be inspired by,” said  Simon Dunstan, director at GT3 Architects.

GT3 Architects will be working with Hartlepool Borough Council, Desco, BGP, Summers Inman, Design Fire Consultants and Apex Acoustics to deliver the project.
