A new pavilion including changing rooms, a community hall, a café and storage for Fletcher Moss Rangers Community Football Club.
The west half of the development consists of admin, kitchen and storage facilities, as well as a 182m2 community hall, suitable for use as a badminton court. Its size and height are based on guidance from Sport England.
The building is orientated to face both the approach to the site and the river bank. This creates natural entrances on both sides into the central reception area and café.
The community hall adds a source of use and revenue in the off season, to ensure the building is used year round, as well as welcoming another sport into the area and engaging an even wider community.
