Representing three partners coming together to provide an upscale facility for the local community, the Bolton One is a £30.6 million ($47.59 million) flagship swimming pool, health and academic centre.
Located at the University of Bolton’s Deane Road campus, the Bolton One has summed up the uniqueness of the facility which houses health, leisure and academic facilities all under one roof.
Marking a significant development for improving health and leisure services for Bolton, the facility houses a swimming pool and leisure services, a four-storey urgent care centre, and sports science laboratories and teaching facilities.
Apart from that Bolton One also features an eight-lane, 25-metre competition swimming pool with seating for 250 spectators; a therapeutic hydrotherapy pool for people with disabilities; a fitness suite; aerobics studio and community gym.
In addition, it also features an urgent care, diagnostic and treatment centre, managed by the NHS within the complex, which provides a ‘walk-in’ service for patients.
The University has provided a Centre of Excellence for Health and Wellbeing, which includes clinical skills laboratory facilities; a rehabilitation suite, including rehabilitation clinics; sports injury and exercise and conditioning clinics; teaching and seminar rooms and test-running track.
Apart from that the University also features a sports centre and climbing wall within the complex by replacing its current facilities. These house four badminton courts and can be used for sports activities including 5-a-side football, badminton, table tennis, trampolining, netball and volleyball.
The Bolton One scheme has been developed with highest environmental standards by the BRAHM LIFT. The Eric Wright Group, the private sector partner in BRAHM LIFT has constructed the complex.
The scheme opened its doors to the public on 23 April 2013.
