Lambrook Swimming Pool
As far swimming pool design uk goes, Lambrook School’s previous pool was not a contender – a decaying covered outdoor facility that desperately needed replacing. Morse Webb’s new-build 25 metre pool with changing rooms and café was designed to integrate with the school’s existing sports facilities.
The pool is linked to the existing sports buildings by a connection that accommodates new toilet and changing rooms. These provide facilities for both the pool and the sports hall, forming a cluster of buildings that line the playing field and define a clear circulation route along the north / south axis through the school.
The pool’s materials reflect its functional nature and have been chosen to complement surrounding existing buildings. A line of clerestory windows on the north elevation provides daylight to the swimming pool, without creating glare on the water surface – which would distract swimmers.
