58 provide a state-of-the-art health , fitness and wellbeing facility for the benefit of Sherborne School , Sherborne Prep and the wider Sherborne community .
The new development will result in an increased number of activities and services allowing users to explore different opportunities to maintain and improve fitness , sustain and build relationships with like-minded people , and find enjoyment and comfort in exceptional surroundings .
The first phase of the project saw the building of a contemporary and cutting edge five-court sports hall , making it one of a kind and unique to Sherborne . The introduction of the hall in September has enabled futsal , badminton , cricket , hockey , and a variety of other sports to take place . The construction of the bespoke climbing and bouldering walls have also been completed , with the climbing wall standing at a magnificent 9 metres tall and offering a range of routes for climbers to explore and conquer . The bouldering room is for free-climbing ( without ropes or harnesses ) where participants must solve ‘ problems ’ using their strength , balance and brain . Both are being enjoyed by pupils at Sherborne School and will be open to the public in 2023 .
The second phase has seen a modernisation of the heated 25 metre indoor swimming pool . The renovation has seen the installation of an improved ventilation system , striking new anti-slip tiles and innovative indoor upgrades which includes energy-efficient poolside lighting .
The final phasing of the project will be completed in the Summer of 2023 . The centre will benefit from four new leading squash courts , two spectacular fitness studios , a state-of-the-art gym containing new equipment , a spacious wet-side changing room , viewing gallery for visitors to watch poolside and a modern , bright , and relaxing reception area , equipped with the most comfortable sofas and chairs to enjoy a catch-up with friends or take a moment after an exhilarating fitness class .
