Tender description

The design intent of the project is to modernise the existing Mallow Swimming Pool building in line with current trends in leisure facilities. An extension to the front of the complex and internal upgrade of the existing building will allow for new changing facilities, additional staff facilities, a new modern entrance and enhanced user experience.
