Sports & Leisure
Combined leisure centres, pools and community sports hubs. What designing them involves and who is hiring.
Knowledge
Working in sports and leisure.
Sports and leisure schemes bring pools, courts, gyms and studios together under one roof. They are among the most technically demanding public buildings, and they anchor regeneration in town centres across the UK.
Zoning wet and dry activities, sharing services and planning for heavy daily use are the designer’s core problems. Council and trust clients commission for community outcomes, which gives the work a public purpose alongside its technical interest.
This hub gathers the live picture for sports and leisure work: who is hiring, which practices are growing, and the conversations shaping the sector right now.
