Delivering a design to meet modern standards

The project will bring the building in line with contemporary standards for South Ayrshire Council’s customers and sport and leisure members. Maximising the great potential of the original structure, the design maintains its well-loved character alongside modernisation to meet the needs of local people.

With these end users in mind, Robertson will ensure that we deliver a thriving community leisure hub to promote accessible sport and physical activity for the local community and beyond.

As we carry out improvements to the accessibility and civic presence of the entrance, and make access more pedestrian and cycling friendly, the facility will become better connected the with the town and the people of Ayr.

Refurbishment, repair and creating new sport and leisure facilities

The initial phase will focus on the Citadel’s roof and facade. 

The comprehensive refurbishment will address necessary repair work and introduce new facilities to enhance the user experience and create an inviting destination for play, sports and recreation for both residents and visitors.

Citadel will benefit from a new entrance and reception, new kitchen and servery, new dry change, studios, cafe, spa, family active hub, fitness gym, party rooms, changing places area and first aid room. Improvements to the wet change area, toilets and existing swimming pools will also be delivered.

Route to market

The project has been secured through the UK Leisure Framework, owned by Denbighshire Leisure Ltd, which has proven to be a successful vehicle for delivering leisure transformations across the UK.
