The Britannia Park development project in Rowley Regis is currently in progress, with funding provided by Sandwell Council and the government Towns Fund. This initiative aims to enhance the park’s infrastructure, facilities, and environmental quality to benefit residents and surrounding communities.
A key highlight of this project is constructing a modern, low-carbon community building that will serve as a central hub for grassroots football teams. The facility will include four changing rooms, two referee rooms, a community-accessible WC, and a plant room.
Urban Design and Building Services (UDBS) is honoured to be involved in this project, providing project management, design, quantity surveying, and structural services for the changing room block. We have partnered with external experts for mechanical and electrical design to ensure the facility is efficient and sustainable.
Our architects have meticulously planned the changing room layout to meet the standards set by the Football Foundation, prioritizing accessibility, inclusivity, and sustainability. The building will be cost-effective, require minimal upkeep, and blend harmoniously with the park’s natural surroundings.
Although our initial approach was for a modular-style building, we have opted for traditional build procurement to expedite the construction process. Work is already underway on-site, aiming for completion by Winter 2024.
Furthermore, our landscape architects will soon begin enhancing the pitches at Britannia Park by implementing additional drainage improvements. This project promises to be a valuable asset to the community, and we eagerly anticipate the upgraded facilities providing a fantastic experience for local football teams.
