Beamish Football Centre is a redevelopment of the clubhouse in Stanley. Situated in County Durham, the existing clubhouse was no longer fit for purpose, and required a new centre to provide the club a more suitable home for their future ambitions.
Anna and Carl Marshall, who run Stanley Events, are addressing an immediate need in an area. They are transforming a community asset into a state-of-the-art centre of excellence for education and sport. The Centre is already used for football and fitness training, skills development and socialising.
Stanley Events dream is to create a community hub for education and skills development. A centre for coaching excellence where footballers of all ability develop their love of the game and provide an asset that will revitalise sport in County Durham and attract others from across the region to learn, play and enjoy themselves.
Three Winning Facts:
- Provided a state of the art centre for excellence for education and sport that has had a positive impact on the local community enabling Stanley Events to provide more events and initiatives since the facility opened.
- The end building is energy efficient incorporating sustainable building materials, with a fabric first approach and renewable technology to remove the reliance on fossil fuel, reducing overall carbon emissions and utility costs.
- The building is aesthetically spectacular – inspired by the ‘Beacon of Light’ the facility is dramatic, whilst the changing-colour LED-lit frosted cladding is intended to motivate by representing the teams playing at that moment in time.
