Work has already begun on the state-of-the-art four-storey building, designed by architects Kennedy Fitzgerald Associates, and is expected to take two years to complete.

The new facility will provide a 25-metre swimming pool, a teaching pool featuring waves and a flume, changing rooms, a café, a multi-purpose sports hall with retractable seating, a fitness suite and a dance studio.

The centre, on Queen’s Quay, is part of the wider regeneration of the area which was once at the heart of Clydebank’s shipbuilding industry, and it is not the first scheme BAM has completed on Clydeside.

Regional Director of BAM Construction, Doug Keillor, said: “This is something of a return visit for us as we are sitting on the doorstep of Clydebank College which we completed in 2007 and which really started the regeneration of this area.

“We were selected for our strong track record in delivering this type of project but this is a challenging site as we are virtually in the river and it’s a complex and futuristic design, so we won’t be resting on our laurels.”

Leader of West Dunbartonshire Council, Martin Rooney, added: “Clydebank has a proud sporting history and this centre is going to hone the next generation of sporting talent.

“It marks the start of a new chapter for Queen’s Quay and I think we are all excited to welcome the first of our residents to the new centre in 2017.

BAM Construction is part of Netherlands based Royal BAM Group, which is active throughout Europe and a market leader in its home country, Belgium, the UK, Ireland and Germany. The company currently employs around 23,000 people.
