The council and ceremonial activities will continue to take place in the Town Hall. The new building occupies five principal floors, with a main entrance from a new plaza area on Hillman Street. At its heart is an atrium, the main focus of the building, housing the Council’s public reception, known as the One Stop Shop, with a waiting area, cafe and call centre.

The upper floors, entered discreetly on the corners of Hillman Street, accommodate the staff lifts, and stairs are located in the corners of the building providing animated, visual signals. The accommodation on the upper floors is mainly open-plan workspace with areas for support, informal meetings, break out and tea points.

The building services specification demonstrates a 10% reduction in carbon emissions and 10% of energy generation from renewable sources.  This will be achieved by providing a combination of gas and wood pellet boilers as well as solar panels or wind turbines.

It is metropolitan open land, and the design responds to its setting, preserving existing woodland and using the fall across the site to hide some of the  bulk of the building. In parallel with the design, Hopkins and the LTA are seeking to develop a “green” transport plan to minimise impact on the neighbourhood.

The centre provides numerous tennis courts of differing surfaces. It includes accommodation for 8-16 year olds, staying for three-month courses, specialised gymnasia, a sports injury clinic, a facility for training coaches, and offices. Each function requires a different type of space – the indoor courts need large volumes, the gyms must be well serviced, the offices efficient and the residential areas comfortable and homely.

Most importantly, all the elements have to come together in a way that gives the sport a strong, appropriate image.  Three-dimensional grid shell, dome-like roofs form the largest volumes covering six in-door courts for year-round use.

The gyms and training areas on one side and the residential areas, carefully articulated with balconies and windows, on the other, give scale and richness to the facade. Alongside, joined by a courtyard, are the offices. Each part has a separate identity within an overall composition.
