Bristol's Hengrove Leisure Centre featuring extensive use of Technal’s aluminium curtain walling, has received a National Award in recognition of its outstanding design and contribution to the local community.

Parkwood Consultancy Services led and project managed the build for the state of the art leisure centre and it is operated by Parkwood Leisure on behalf of Bristol City Council.

Designed by LA architects, the £35m Hengrove Park Leisure Centre was built by Kier Construction on the site of a former airport. The privately financed project is also one of the first centres in the UK with a 50m swimming pool to achieve a BREEAM 'excellent rating. It opened in 2013 and has surpassed all expectations for it's use and membership quotas.
