Championship Performance at Wimbledon
Delivering a new Indoor Tennis Centre
for the All England Lawn Tennis Club
Tuesday 9th July 2024, 1800 for 1830 start
-
AluK Design Studio, 5-11 Worship Street, London, EC2A 2BH
Renowned for its immaculate grass courts, the annual Wimbledon Championships is an integral part of the British Summer sporting calendar. Away from the 2 weeks of strawberries and cream, the SW19 site reverts to its more typical life as a Members’ Tennis Club.
Thom and Mat will talk through the new Indoor Tennis Centre for the AELTC, explaining the changing requirements of the facility and some of the complexities of working in arguably the world’s most famous post code.
The project was Highly Commended by the Constructing Excellence SECBE Awards - Building Project of the Year, over £10 million.
