St George's Park
Burton-on-TrentWe recently completed the extensive tiling package at the Football Association’s new training facility at St George’s Park, Burton on Trent. There are over 9000M2 of ceramic, conglomorate and granite tiles fixed throughout the development, which encompasses state of the art training facilities for elite athletes from accross the sporting spectrum, not just football. As well as tiling the training and medical facilities, we also completed all the front and back of house tiling to the two hotels on site; an up market Hilton Hotel and a value based Hampton by Hilton, including works to complete the 228 bathroom pods that were originally assembled off site.
The centre will be home to the England medical team and all of its facilities will be made available to England players at every level. This includes a hydrotherapy suite, rehabilitation gym, strength and conditioning gym, biomechanics and screening area, individual consulting rooms and an altitude chamber. Working together with The FA, it is hoped to become the first medical centre in the UK to achieve FIFA Centre of Medical Excellence accreditation.
The development has already picked up the RICS West Midlands 2013 award for Tourism & Leisure and is a finalist for the RICS national award this autumn. Project Architects, Red Box Design Group, also won in the category of ‘Best Professional Service Business serving Football’ at the inaugural Football Business Awards. The team of Judges said; “This project was delivered with real empathy for its surroundings, creating a state of the art facility which will have a huge impact on English football for generations.”
