Building work on Extreme Connexions, an extreme sports and arts venue in Hemel Hempstead, has reached another milestone with the completion of the steel structure.

The centre is due to open in July 2011 and will include a 60 x 15m climbing wall, skate park, indoor caving and a challenging high ropes course. The facility will also feature a music recording studio, a band rehearsal room and an internet cafe as well as a teen focused health centre with counselling rooms.

The site will be managed by The Sportspace, the operating name of Dacorum Sports Trust.

The facility is being built by GB Building solutions and Sportspace are working closely with Dacorum Borough Council and the Youth Connexions service.
