Loughborough University’s SportPark was extended by adding a fourth pavilion to provide more office space for the national sporting governance bodies and other organisations based on the campus.
The four storey extension added 2,180 square metres plus a new link building connected to Pavilion 3. The new addition increased SportPark’s floorspace by 25 per cent to cater for future expansion and new arrivals to the campus.
SportPark Pavilion 4 was created to stimulate further demand to bring sports-related organisations and businesses to the region. Six months after completion, Pavilion 4 was already 86 per cent occupied.
The Pavilion 4 building is Loughborough University’s first Passivhaus development, which meets the most challenging standards of energy efficiency and thermal comfort.
The scheme was delivered using innovative carbon-reducing technologies and design characteristics. The University can look forward long-term energy savings in the consumption needed for heating and cooling.
Internally the building has a light and airy feel with views through to the landscape. It has a diverse range of spaces which tenants desired, including a welcome space, café, hot desking, meeting spaces, canteen and events space. The concept was a public realm open to both tenants and visitors.
