Norwich City unveil plans for expansion of their training ground
It includes a new recovery hub and dedicated media facilities.
Norwich City Football Club has unveiled plans for the expansion of their training ground.
The plans include a new recovery hub, media facilities, and administration.
Norwich-based company LSI, who helped with the previous development on the site in Hethersett in 2019, have designed the new additions.
Plans are also in place to re-clad some of the existing buildings on site to bring it all together.
The club says the recovery hub will include a swimming pool, aqua therapy areas, hot and cold recovery baths, an underwater treadmill, and camera systems to monitor movements.
The new administration and media building will offer a permanent location for operations and media staff that are currently located in a temporary modular building at the front of the site, while also providing a new reception area for visitors.
Zoe Ward, business and projects director at Norwich City, said: “As part of our ongoing and long-term vision across all areas of the football club, we know the importance of continuing to plan for the future.
“This latest stage of planning at the Lotus Training Centre will see the introduction of an administration and media provision, as well as a state-of-the-art recovery and hydrotherapy facility over the coming years.
“We’re extremely proud to have one of the leading training facilities across the country. This next step of development is another important step towards building a successful long-term future, both on and off the pitch.”
Rob Ruffles, senior associate at LSI Architects, added: “We’re delighted to be continuing our work with the football club, planning and developing this latest phase of works at the Lotus Training Centre.
“Whilst the facilities satisfy a variety of different functional needs, we have been keen to ensure that the principals of biophilic design are embedded across the site.
“This unity will continue to support the club with the dynamic, contemporary and professional facilities that will help to attract the best talent and the best developers of talent.”
