The company says the project will provide state-of-the-art facilities for sports, leisure and education in Gloucester Park, Basildon. It is also being identified as a potential training camp for the 2012 Olympics and Paralympic Games.

The scheme reportedly features a wide range of sustainable, energy-saving features including solar panels, a combined heat and power boiler and a natural ventilation system using ‘wind-catchers’ which channel air into the building. The project goes on site in October and is due for completion in Spring 2011.
