The Britannia Park development project in Rowley Regis has now been completed, with funding provided by Sandwell Council and the government Towns Fund. This initiative aimed to enhance the park’s infrastructure, facilities, and environmental quality to benefit residents and surrounding communities.
A key highlight of this project is the construction of a modern, low-carbon community building that serves as a central hub for grassroots football teams. The facility includes four changing rooms, two referee rooms, a community-accessible WC, and a plant room.
Urban Design and Building Services (UDBS) is proud to have been involved in this project, providing project management, design, quantity surveying, and structural services for the changing room block. We partnered with external experts for mechanical and electrical design to ensure the facility is efficient and sustainable.
Our architects meticulously planned the changing room layout to meet the standards set by the Football Foundation, prioritizing accessibility, inclusivity, and sustainability. The building is cost-effective, requires minimal upkeep, and blends harmoniously with the park’s natural surroundings.
Although our initial approach was for a modular-style building, we opted for traditional build procurement to expedite the construction process. Work was successfully completed on-site by Winter 2024.
Furthermore, our landscape architects have enhanced 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.
