This month’s cover story features a leisure centre in the Bedfordshire town of Leighton Buzzard. Set in a new housing development, the centre includes a 25m swimming pool, a learner pool, squash courts and a 150-station gym.

In the capital’s St James’s district, the 30 Duke Street commercial scheme has fully embraced the circular economy. Approximately 77% of the structural frame is made up of reclaimed steel, with more than half of this total coming from another one of developer GPE’s London projects.

Also in London, an eight-storey office block and a new headquarters for the City of London Police, which features a weathering steel exoskeleton, form part of the Salisbury Square development.

Structural steelwork is the preferred framing solution for the current work within Rotherham’s Town Centre Masterplan. A new open-plan market building, alongside a library, are both being built on top of an existing podium slab, which has been strengthened with steel plates.

The Workington Innovation Centre is set to provide a boost to IT and digital technology companies in Cumbria. The four-storey, steel-framed building features private and informal meeting rooms, conference spaces, and catering facilities.
