Edgar Centre Indoor Courts
The Edgar Centre is a former wool store from the 1970s that was converted into a sport centre in 1996.
This case study highlights the significant environmental benefits of re‑using and repurposing existing buildings rather than building new facilities.
To show the potential carbon savings from this approach, the environmental impact of converting the Edgar Centre was estimated and compared with a new building of the same size and purpose.
The comparison demonstrates how adaptive re‑use can substantially reduce carbon emissions while still meeting the needs of modern sport and recreation facilities.
