On Site Hydrotherapy Pool
We are working on two schemes for the PCP (Pioneering Care Partnership): a new Hydrotherapy Pool and an extension to their Options Room. Located at the Pioneering Care Centre in Newton Aycliffe, County Durham, the PCP’s Hydrotherapy pool is one of the region’s only self-referral fully accessible community pools of its type. Offering over 17,000 appointments annually, the hydrotherapy pool has benefited countless individuals over its 25 years, but had become oversubscribed and outdated, necessitating a complete overhaul. P+HS Architects have been working closely with the charity and contractor MGM Construction to redevelop the pool, doubling capacity, and ensuring that it meets modern standards allowing more people to benefit from its state-of-the-art facilities for years to come. We are also providing an extension to the Options Room, a multipurpose activity space used by a range of people with varying needs. The new facilities will allow the service better capacity to deliver the first-class sessions that members love, which promote independence and social inclusion. As well as increasing the space, the new extension will provide a new kitchen area and access outdoors to a communal garden and seating area.
