adult day care
Building works have begun in the Leisure Centre to provide Adult Day Care and take about 12 weeks. It will see the former Sedgefield Borough Homes offices which were located in the reception area and on the first floor; transformed into a fully functional day care centre.
Part of the project will include the provision of a Changing Places changing room which will be accessible to users of the Leisure Centre as well as day care clients.
Energy efficiency
New energy efficient lighting has been installed throughout the building. Most of the public areas and offices are now managed by sensor controls.
The majority of the air handling units have been replaced with more efficient plant which will deliver heating throughout the centre in a more controlled manner.
A building management system has been installed to operate the air handling units to ensure that all areas are heating to the recommended temperature for the activity taking place.
A new Combined Heat and Power Unit has also been installed in the plant room. This generates electricity and heat as a by product. The heat is then used throughout the Centre.
