RBS Gogarburn Leisure Centre

The Royal Bank Leisure Centre is located on the site of the Banks’ Gogarburn Headquarters and provides leisure and medical facilities for RBS staff in Central Scotland. It was conceived as a glass pavilion set in the trees behind the listed Gogarburn House which itself has been converted to a staff club with bars and restaurant. The leisure centre has a medical suite, 20m pool, aerobics room, gym and outdoor pitches. The architecture reflects that of the adjacent headquarters building but re-interpreted to suit the Leisure Centre’s function and location. Double height glazing in the pool and gym areas provide views out to the Building’s landscape setting. Solar shading is provided by timber louvers or translucent glass sandwich panels.
