The world’s first Passivhaus-certified leisure centre is about to open in Exeter on the site of the city's former bus station.
St Sidwell’s Point Leisure Centre is on track to open in April 2022 and is heralded as a global leader in energy efficiency boasting three swimming pools with moveable pool floors and spectator seating, a 150-station state-of-the-art gym, dance studio, health suite and spa, creche and cafe.
Specialist architects and engineers at award-winning architects practice Gale & Snowden, which has offices in Exeter and Bideford, are responsible for the Passivhaus design and creation of the exterior of the building, as well as thermally modelling the scheme to take account of future climate change scenarios, making it the lowest energy-running leisure centre yet.
