Glodwick Pool Live Project

A Strategy For Development As ‘Clemency House’

The Glodwick Pool Live project concerns the re-development and remodelling of the existing building to be converted into a community hub. The Live Projects team worked with the Ghazali Trust to help devise a strategy for the development taking into consideration the communities interests, the trusts needs and the rejuvenation of the area in Oldham.

The document is split up into three sections, the first concerning the research, precedent and community engagement process. The engagement day was organized to help drive the design and scheduling process, considering all challenges and requirements. The second section looks at the design process developing a strategy for the client to aid progress for the Clemency House vision. The final Section looks at the legacy of the Live Projects involvement, suggesting ways for the client to continue the work and help further community engagement.

Oldham has a population of about 224,900 with a rich mix of communities, cultures and faiths. St Mary’s ward, which is the immediate site context is characterised by the highest population of Asian or Asian British people as well as muslims in relation to the rest of Oldham. As well as being one of the poorer boroughs, there are quite a few apparent social issues which have had a direct impact on the level of integration within the community.

Community Engagement

On Saturday 15th October, we organised a community engagement day at the site itself with the help of the Ghazali Trust. The aim of the day was to get as much feedback from the local community in regards to the future development of the Glodwick Pool site.

The proposed vision for ‘Clemency House’ is clear within the ranks of the Ghazali Trust but is perhaps not so permeable to the general community.

The day proved successful attracting nearly 100 visitors between 11am and 4pm gathering various pieces of information through general conversations and our engagement tools.

Engagement Tools The group utilised various ‘tools’ to help encourage conversation.

We used a pin board with various activities and emotions to gauge what were popular trends.

Interactive post cards were used for ideas and colouring in for children A perspex board with line drawings of the existing build was used to allow visitors to sketch ideas/visions A large map was printed to find out where people were coming from to visit the building A white board was set up for general discussion and drawings

Conversations

“We dont have a local boxing centre, there is a high demand for this and we feel it would be a sucessful element to the new building.

We currently have to travel for training, it would be great to bring a competitive match playing level to the area on a national scale”

“The Cafe should attract visitors as well as members of the direct community. The Health service and NHS buildings from across the road would definitely benefit from the cafe / kitchen”

“Corncerning the requirements for the boxing training we would need 6-8 punching bags hung from the ceiling, perhaps on a rail. We need a space for sparing, and a ring would be ideal.”

“A community kitchen could bring an educational use to the building, teaching the community about healthy eating and self su ciency

After a full day of conversations with the community and members of the ghazali Trust, certain trends and themes started to become evident.

We realised the importance of the boxing club in the area, there are a lot of people in the community interested in the sport and have to travel a distance to train at the moment.

“Community gardens / allotments would be beneficial. of people rely on fro en foods and takeaways in the area.

Speaking to the women of the community helped us to understand the importance of private changing and appropriate scheduling, this greatly helped inform the design of the new changing rooms.

The idea of a community kitchen proved popular, promoting the practice of cooking your own food and general healthy eating education.

The cafe addition came across as a exciting addition to the area, a much needed amenity that could draw visitors as well as the community to help fund the general running of the building and possible future extensions.

“Separation between female and male changing rooms is vitally important. We cant go to the new swimming pool in town as there are mixed changing rooms.

This should be separate rooms or a single room on schedule.”

“An educational element might be a good use of the space. An after school tutorial classes for kids that need extra help with GCSE’s, a ‘homework club’ as such.”

Following our community consultation event where we asked the participators for direct contributions we became aware of a few key themes that reflect the catalytic potential of the hub.

These were then fed back into our design process shifting to the focus to centre more strongly on facilitating integration.

Design Process Community Suggestions

Community Discussion/Consultation

Design ingredients: The design process was iterative and varied. It required us to source relevant information at different stages, constantly referring back to what we had previously done.

To ensure a rigorous process, we had to prevent ourselves becoming an insular team, where its possible to design almost independently of the true context. As such the community discussions played a big part as a ‘reality check’ on our ideas, as well as diversifying our inputs and response to the brief.

Reference to precedents and the empirical research we had gathered at the start of the project was key to a reflective design process. To maintain a rigorous reflective process we had to remain true to our three initial themes: improvement, viability, and community. Integral to the latter is sense of openness, which permeated all the design decisions in terms of both encouraging transparency as well as fostering new opportunities.

Proposals and strategies were put through cycles of creation, review, and re-work.

Client

For example, plan options were created through a charette process, where small teams of 3 or 4 formed proposals. These were brought together, discussed as a group, and then returned to smaller teams for refinement.

The results were presented for discussion with the client, either remotely via video link, or in person in meetings in Oldham.

Design Challenges:

Flexibility/indeterminacy: Consideration of space in much looser terms that the initial brief indicated opened up possibilities. We tested the flexibility and functionality of spaces through the imagining of different scenarios within that space.

- What would be the impact of alternative activities occurring within them?

- What might people want to do after they have taken part in one class?

- Can the space cope with alternative timing/scheduling?

- How do independent areas of the building act separately and co-operatively?

Client Feedback Meeting DESIGN DEVELOPMENT Visuals Production

Varied & flexible schedule: Achieving our aspiration to include suggestions made by the community within the scope of the building meant careful consideration of issues of timing. This first became apparent through discussions with the client about managing the limited space and how well a single, scheduled changing room might work.

Many of the suggestions from the community did not require advanced, or even fixed, infrastructure. Looking at how programme elements might overlap in their use of space offered viable solutions.

Schedule flexibility through plan arrangement:

Dry Change Kitchen

The final plan arrangement carefully takes into account how the spaces are used throughout the day.

The proximity of changing rooms to the sauna and steam room allows different gender schedules. The changing rooms are not assigned as a specific permanent gender, rather they are A and B, and can be assigned according to demand.

The addition of small dry changing room further alleviates pressure on the wet changing rooms, and allows greater flexibility in the use of the hall. In fact the two halves could accommodate different genders regardless how A and B are assigned.

Client Feedback Meeting DESIGN DEVELOPMENT Visuals Production

Visualisation of the multi-purpose Main Hall:

Client Feedback Meeting DESIGN DEVELOPMENT Visuals Production

The Main Hall: The main hall is to be converted into a multi-purpose space to accommodate as many activities as possible.

The floor will be a specialist low-tolerance system to satisfy the requirements of table tennis.

A grid structure retro-fitted to the roof is suggested to allow more flexible lighting and systems placement. This can also accommodate rails and hooks to hang further equipment.

Although a main partition will be used to divide the hall length-ways, we would encourage further simple dividers such as curtains which could be used to further sub-divide the space and offer a wider variety of activities.

Client Feedback Meeting DESIGN DEVELOPMENT Visuals Production

An alternative gym plan: Following the clients consideration of our proposals with his key stakeholders and team, we discussed an alternative plan. Before the site turned to disuse, a small gym had existing in part of the building. This means that air conditioning remains in place and the windows seem appropriate for it to continue its function, with minimal budget and disturbance.

We had dismissed this plan arrangement initially due to its effect on limiting the wider programme flexibility and space restrictions. The client’s discussion however suggested there was still an appetite to consider such a plan if the building was extended outwards on that side. This would help initiate phase 1, spurring on further stages of development and funding.

Gym option 2 offers as much of the flexibility of option 1 as possible, whilst accommodating the gym in its previous location. The remainder of the plan stays as proposed.

There are issues such as slightly reduced flexibility, as well as the fact that this only works if the building is extended, which may out-way the cost benefits of the infrastructural re-use.

Client Feedback Meeting DESIGN DEVELOPMENT Visuals Production

Possible activites within spaces

The hub: At the heart of the project is the hub. Centred around a cafe and community kitchen, the space offers flexible seating, tables and quiet spaces. These cater to both individuals and small groups.

The key to unlocking potential here was identification of the problem areas of the existing plan. The core is situated where the services of the old changing rooms were centred, and the old reception and staff area is demolished and replaced with the activity room.

A straight and clear flow through from entry to all the sports services means that internal navigation is easy. The route passes through the hub space, fostering more chances to meet and engage with people.

Multipurpose space for conferences, training, learning, fitness classes etc.

WC and ablution zone will serve cafe area, activity room and general open plan entrance area.

This final stage will complete the master plan for Clemency House, acting as a thriving multi-purpose community hub for Oldham.

Identity: The final vision for the old Glodwick Pool site is one of a vibrant community hub. A place where members of the community, and visitors, can feel a sense of belonging. It should be a place of sharing - of skills, stories, and joy.

Expanded Stakeholders:

The potential of a community hub lies in its power to bring people together. We hope that this can be harnessed by the Ghazali Trust in its efforts to run a wide ranging programme of educational and sporting activities.

We hope that the suggested flexibility of spaces allows for new groups and activities to form, as the need evolves from the community itself.

The design proposals hopefully offer the Trust an insight into how good design can provide the most social value for a tight-knit community such as theirs, whilst minimising cost. A more diverse revenue stream will provide a more stable hub able to sustain the needs of its users.

Approaching the design from multiple scales allows for the development of a comprehensive strategy for a responsive environment

A broad contextual research helps to identify key aspects about the site and it s potential pool of end users which influence the design outcomes

Mapping the potential stakeholders gives an overview of the relationships between the actors.

This makes it clear where additional actors could engage
