Barnsley Metrodome Reception

To improve the complex for visitors, we were appointed to lead a comprehensive refurbishment and remodelling scheme at Barnsley Metrodome on behalf of Barnsley Premier Leisure (BPL).

Opened in 1989, the Metrodome is a popular sports and leisure centre and home to the well-loved Calypso Cove Waterpark – a collection of pirate themed slides, flumes, diving boards and interactive features.

The new reception, which takes the place of Calypso Café, now provides a welcoming entrance for visitors, while staff at the centre benefit from a revamped workspace with a new accessible compliant desk, back office with air conditioning, circulation space, poolside glazed partitions, fire doors and floor coverings.

Enhancing the complex’s catering facilities, and ensuring previous cafe services are not lost, a new servery area has been provided to the upper ground floor entrance, replacing the old reception space and offering leisure-users a variety of food and drink options.

Alongside the reception and servery works, facilities at the centre were further enhanced through the delivery of full refurbishment works to the upper ground floor toilets, including new cubicles and sanitaryware, floor and wall finishes, and mechanical and electrical upgrades throughout. Safety has also been enriched with replacement fire doors.
