The London Borough of Camden will become home to a new community space featuring a leisure centre, public art pieces and library when 5 Pancras Square opens on Saturday (19 July).

Split across 14 floors, 5 Pancras Square will become an important leisure hub for Camden, featuring a gym, café, relocated modern library and customer access centre, with the facility being created in conjunction with sustainable building principles.

The facility’s fitness offerings, to be managed by operator GLL, cover more than 2,906sq m (31,279sq ft) and feature two swimming pools, a spa pool and a sauna.

The centre’s 25m (82ft) pool also has a moveable floor to support access for disabled users and those learning to swim, with changing rooms and toilet facilities available to support those with disabilities.

The gym is equipped with a full range of cardio and strength equipment supplied by Technogym, including the supplier’s Artis Unity technology, allowing users to access the internet, social media and check emails while using the gym’s cardio consoles.

Other offerings include Artis strength equipment and Omnia platforms for group training, while the gym also makes use of Technogym’s Mywellness Cloud system, which gives users the chance to engage with an online platform that keeps a record of all of their health, fitness and exercise metrics.

The leisure section of the site is also home to three specialist pieces of exercise equipment that have been designed to make physical activity more accessible for those with disabilities.

Other features inside the Bennetts Associates-designed building include a local library – which is situated next to a café – featuring a youth zone, children’s library and PC suite.

There are also numerous community spaces, council office areas and public artworks, including one piece by Turner prize nominated artist Mark Titchner and another by local artist Simon Periton.

The project, self-funded by Camden Council, is seeking to bring in 500,000 users per year for its leisure facilities.
