As part of the wider Monmouth Schools Masterplan and future enhancements, the prep school is moving locations to be more integrated into the school campus. The existing building will be retained by the school and converted into a new high-end gym facility to enhance HMS Sports Academy.
The gym will have separate spaces for performance as well as strength and conditioning. Additionally, there will be a dedicated spin studio and a flexible studio suitable for yoga and Pilates.
Complimenting the gym and studio spaces will be an improved entrance with a ‘relax zone’ and cafe with views into the gym spaces and video analysis suite. Working with the existing buildings as much as possible, the renovations include strengthening the floor structure, installing new ventilation and heat recovery systems, new changing rooms, and graphical and material enhancements throughout to support the school's decarbonisation plan.
The gym will be primarily used by the school, but also be open to the public and available for rent by sports teams and clubs.
