13.0 Appendix 1: Leisure Centre Brief Analysis

The Turner and Townsend Review and Options Appraisal dated 21 July 2017 recommended provision of a new 8,000sqm leisure centre.

Stallan-Brand assessed this in more detail and confirmed that the leisure facilities proposed could potentially be provided in a building of 8,000sqm and this is similar in scale to other leisure centres recently delivered elsewhere in Scotland.

It also analysed which spaces are best to be on the ground floor and which spaces could be included on a first floor.

This indicated that 5,500sqm of accommodation would ideally be located on the ground floor and the remaining 2,500sqm could be on the first floor.

Stallan-Brand also explored potential to reduce the GIFA for the leisure centre.

There is potential to reduce this to 7,300sqm.

The Stallan-Brand report dated 25 April 2017 also assessed the overall ideal site area.

The conclusion of this exercise is that the footprint of the leisure centre building could be in the region of 5,500sqm.

Potential parking and external pitches have also been quantified adding a further 8500sqm of site area.

Note:
Sport Scotland design advice has been consulted and where insufficient detail was available Sport England design advice has been used.

13.0 Appendix 2:
Theatre Brief Analysis
A high level exercise has been undertaken to explore the possibility of integrating the Eastwood Park Theatre in the proposed Eastwood Park development.

There would also be many opportunities for shared facilities and collaboration.

Reception facilities could double as informal box offices and exercise studios doubling as rehearsal rooms are just a few examples of the possibilities.

The below diagrams indicate which spaces may be required in addition to the proposed brief, which spaces would only be partially required and which spaces would not be required and could be fulfilled by other areas.

These proposals are a high level review at this early stage and a full and detailed briefing exercise would be required to understand how the sharing of facilities would work in detail.

Additional brief area required = ~700sqm.

13.0 Appendix 3: Peak Leisure Centre Comparison

A useful comparison is the Peak Leisure Centre in Stirling.

The building serves a population of around 40,000, similar to East Renfrewshire.

The Peak has attracted around 8,000 members.

East Renfrewshire has around 2,400 members involving a number of buildings.

The building Footprint is 6,920sqm and GIFA is 9,080sqm.

This includes a curling rink and 3 sports halls each with 3 courts.

The pool is a 25m pool.

This comparison lead to the proposal for 3 sports halls each with 3 courts in lieu of a single 6 court games hall.

This could offer more flexibility in the sports use and the halls could be designed to allow multiple uses including theatre, conference and events with potential to increase capacity of all of these.
