SPORT
Sustainability and longevity will drive sector's future growth
The pressure not only financially but also environmentally to build greener and more sustainably will be the driver for future development of sports and leisure facilities.
Delivering facilities that have stronger economic, environmental and social value outcomes with multi-purpose usage will be how the sports sector will grow.
For the construction industry, this represents a significant opportunity, especially as these projects will demand innovative solutions to meet net zero targets.
This will involve using sustainable building materials, integrating energy-efficient systems, and adopting advanced technologies in design and construction.
Financial resources permitting, a determined government drive to create greener, more accessible sports and leisure facilities will likely lead to a surge in demand for construction services from the sector.

Goole Hub
RLB is supporting East Riding of Yorkshire Council with project management, cost management and principal designer services for the redevelopment of East Riding Leisure Goole.
The project – part refurbishment and part new-build – will transform the leisure centre into the Goole Hub, a multi-service centre providing a range of services for the local community.
The new building’s facilities will include an improved gym, a learner pool, a state-of-the-art six-lane bowling alley, and the town’s library.
Partly funded by the Goole Town Deal, the redevelopment is due to commence on site by the end of 2024.
