AECOM and Faulkner Browns to oversee Brentford centre

Hounslow Council has appointed AECOM, working with FaulknerBrowns Architects, to take forward plans for a new Brentford Fountain Leisure Centre.

Current proposals for the new centre include modern swimming pools with moveable floors, interactive water-play facilities, a large gym, sports hall, fitness studios, improved changing facilities and new family and community spaces.

AECOM and FaulknerBrowns Architects will now develop the design and carry out the technical and planning work needed for the proposed redevelopment of the site. The new centre will be developed in consultation with residents, schools and community groups to ensure the facilities consider local needs.

The project is part of the Hounslow Council’s wider approach to regeneration, which aims to ensure investment in Brentford delivers visible benefits for local people and creates a place the community can be proud of.

According to councillor Tom Bruce, Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Economic Development at Hounslow Council, the appointment marks “an important step” in plans to replace the existing centre, which has served the local community since 1987.
