£31m Bolton One scheme moves forward
Construction work on a new £31m healthcare and leisure complex in Bolton has reached its latest milestone, with a topping out ceremony marking the completion of the main structure.
Facilities at the Nightingale Associates-designed Bolton One development will boast a 25m, eight-lane pool built to Amateur Swimming Association standards for county competitions.
One third of the pool's length will incorporate a moveable floor to allow for a range of uses, while a 50sq m (538sq ft) hydrotherapy pool is also to be included in the complex.
Elsewhere, a 70-station fitness suite; a dance/aerobics studio; a community gym; and access to the University of Bolton's sports hall will be on offer in the leisure element.
The healthcare element of the project will feature an out-of-hours service base with treatment rooms; an emergency dental service; a minor injuries unit; and a GP surgery.
Eric Wright Group is the developer of the new complex, which has been built as the result of a partnership between the university; NHS Bolton; and Bolton Council.
Bolton Council leader Cliff Morris said: "This marks a significant milestone for Bolton One, which will be a fantastic asset for the local community.
"This flagship development signifies the council's commitment to provide 21st century facilities for its residents and visitors."
