B&K Hybrid Solutions delivered the hybrid cross laminated timber, glulam and steel frame, with structural steelwork manufactured from our state-of-the-art facility.
Eclipse Leisure Centre, located in Staines-upon-Thames, offer a comprehensive range of facilities, such as an eight-lane 25m pool, sports hall, studios, and a sports pitch on the roof.

This state-of-the-art leisure facility is highly energy efficient, as the first and largest ‘wet and dry’ leisure facility in the UK to meet the ultra-low energy ‘Passivhaus’ standard.
Spelthorne Borough Council say the new building uses 60% less energy than a typical modern leisure centre – a major step towards helping the Council achieve its aim of becoming carbon neutral in the coming years.

A hybrid timber-steel solution is ideal in the Health and Leisure sector, particularly when government funding is to be considered, as hybrid systems can provide both sustainability and cost-certainty benefits. Additionally, as leisure facilities are high energy consumers and can be prone to comfort and overheating issues, adopting low-energy Passivhaus standards for Eclipse Leisure Centre has helped the Borough Council meet their sustainability goals.
