Willmott Dixon to deliver Redcar scheme
Hertfordshire-based contractor Willmott Dixon has revealed that it is set to deliver a major new £33m leisure, business support and community facility in the heart of Redcar.
The group said it had been appointed through the Scape framework on the first of a two-stage contract to build complex on behalf of Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council.
It is hoped Willmott Dixon will start work in the New Year, working with S&P Architects on the leisure element of the development. Completion is scheduled for autumn 2013.
Leisure facilities are to comprise a six-lane, 25m swimming pool, a training pool and a learner pool; a fitness suite; a junior gym; a dance hall and performance space; and a sports hall.
Plus3 Architects have also been involved in the design of the complex, which will also provide business space for small- to medium-sized enterprises, as well as community facilities.
Willmott Dixon managing director for north Anthony Dillon said: "This regeneration heralds an exciting new future for Redcar and its community, making a genuine lasting difference."
The group has also been appointed to build a new 80ft (24m) vertical pier on Redcar seafront, which will provide a new landmark and tourist attraction for the region.
