Leading construction company Henry Brothers has completed an £11 million welfare hub designed to support new recruits at the Army Training Centre Pirbright.
The Soldiers’ Centre at Alexander Barracks brings existing retail and wellbeing services across the site into a single location, enhancing the training experience for recruits while modernising the facility.
The building’s construction incorporates a Glulam structural frame and photovoltaic panels for on-site renewable energy generation and is expected to achieve an ‘Excellent’ rating under the Defence Related Environmental Assessment Methodology (DREAM).
The investment was joint-funded by the British Army and the Army Central Fund (ACF) which provided a £7m grant – the single biggest donation ever made by the ACF.
Measuring approximately 2000m2 over two storeys, The Soldiers’ Centre was designed by CPMG Architects and supports The Soldier Academy, which delivers the 13-week Basic Training course to every soldier.
