The project comprises the redevelopment of an existing church site to create a new Regional Climbing & Bouldering Centre.

​

The first phase included refurbishment and internal alterations to the existing St Andrews Church, with the second phase comprising a new build bespoke extension to house the climbing walls. The new structure required inclined perimeter walls to suit climbing requirements, and was designed as a braced steel frame with a raft foundation to counteract overturning forces generated by the “lean” of the building. External works comprised ramps, soft landscaping and retaining walls, to form access from the existing streetscape.

​

The completed centre  includes a café and soft play area in addition to the climbing and bouldering facilities,  the climbing walls were carried out as a specialised fit-out contract .
