Evesham Leisure Centre in Worcestershire has won the Community Architecture category of the Wychavon Building Design Awards.

Wychavon Leisure, which operates the facility, highlighted its strengths as being "its striking use of colour, forms and contrasting material, all of which has helped the new leisure centre stand as a landmark development for the town".

The facility was designed by architects Roberts-Limbrick and constructed by Galliford Try.

The Wychavon Building Design Awards judges said: "This much needed facility will be a fantastic resource for the town, further enhanced by the very visible and tactile use of materials and forms, both inside and out. These all help to create a new place of distinct character."

The centre offers a 25m swimming pool; studio pool with moveable floor; 100-station fitness suite; a four-court sports hall; a climbing wall; two exercise studios; a health suite with two spa pools, a sauna and steamrooms and a café.
