Internal reconfiguration & refurbishment of popular Stonehaven Leisure Centre
In August 2023, Burns Construction proudly began work on the internal reconfiguration & refurbishment of Stonehaven Leisure Centre, along with the construction of a new Gym Suite extension. This project aimed to upgrade and expand the facility to better serve the growing needs of the local community.
Expanding Fitness and Recreation Facilities
The newly constructed extension accommodates a modern gym suite, spacious dance studio, upgraded entrance, and improved changing areas. By increasing the facility’s footprint, the leisure centre now offers a more accessible and comfortable experience for visitors.

Upgrading Interiors and Enhancing Layouts
As part of the internal reconfiguration & refurbishment, Burns Construction replaced lighting throughout the pool area. Additionally, the pool received new Whiterock wall finishes and modern tiles to improve aesthetics and hygiene. The games hall also benefited from fresh lighting and full redecoration, revitalizing the space for sports and events.
Transforming the Building’s Appearance and Efficiency
A significant section of the front façade was removed and rebuilt with new cladding and updated signage. This change not only enhanced the building’s appearance but also made room for the expanded structure, including a new roof extension supported by a steel frame. To improve natural light and visibility, a large viewing window was added to the front wall of the swimming pool.
Furthermore, photovoltaic (PV) panels were installed on the roof to boost energy efficiency and support the centre’s sustainability goals.
Modernising Changing Areas for Better User Experience
The project also involved the complete refurbishment of the changing areas. New facilities included lockers, cubicles, vanity units, and a full reconfiguration of the layout to improve flow and accessibility. These updates ensure a more comfortable and practical environment for users of all ages.
