Passivhaus Swimming Pool granted Planning Approval

Blairgowrie Recreation Centre, Scotland’s first Passivhaus swimming pool and leisure centre was granted Planning Approval by Perth & Kinross Council yesterday (Wednesday 10th August 2022). Holmes Miller are delighted to reach this milestone and look forward to delivering Perth & Kinross Council’s vision in working towards Carbon zero.   

The project comprises the Design and Construction of a new Recreation Centre to deliver the physical education curriculum for Blairgowrie High school while also providing leisure facilities for use by the local community.

 It is one of few UK sports hubs pioneering efficiency through a reduction in energy requirements, and only the second swimming pool in the UK to be built to Passivhaus standards, setting a benchmark to a greener, healthier lifestyle.
