Brief
Tucker M&E undertook a design and build project for a new environmentally friendly tennis club. The facilities included outdoor courts, covered all weather courts with bespoke tent style canopy roof, lounge, café, gym, meeting room and changing facilities.

Project Challenges
There was a lot of effort put into making this facility environmentally friendly. PV’s, solar thermal and rain water harvesting has all been installed into the bespoke building.
The covered court lights were tight to install to LTA requirements, while still maintaining good uniformity and the correct aesthetics for a building of this type.

Results
The client was happy with the facilities and we have had no problems. The project was completed on time within budget.
