New GBP31m Bolton One complex opens
Bolton One, a new GBP31m health, leisure and research complex developed by Bolton Council in partnership with NHS Bolton and the University of Bolton, has opened to the public.
Nightingale Associates' Liverpool office has designed the venue, which has been built by Eric Wright Group and incorporates a 70-station gym equipped by Life Fitness.
A 25m swimming pool with seating for 250 spectators; a hydrotherapy pool for people with disabilities; and a community gym accessible to disabled users are also among the facilities.
Meanwhile, the University of Bolton has a sports hall and a 50ft climbing wall as part of the complex, which is scheduled to open its doors on 27 February.
The university also provides a Centre of Excellence for Health and Wellbeing at Bolton One, which offers rehabilitation clinics; sports injury and exercise and conditioning clinics.
A range of NHS outpatient services comprise the healthcare element of the venue, which has taken more than two years to build and will have an official launch in May.
Bolton Council leader Cliff Morris said: "One of our key priorities is improving the health of our residents and Bolton One gives everyone the opportunity to take part in fitness activities."
