That's really nice. Looks well built too!

What do they do exactly in these Youth Centres?

One from John Bakers blog - http://www.austinmemories.com/page84/page84.html

I quite like this building Still waiting for the sign to go on the top, apart from that everything looks pretty much complete

I just wish the grey panels on the end section didnt have joins in them and was just one large piece in each strip rather than two pieces per strip

It is a brilliant addition I think and when my nipper becomes 13 in September I'll get him to enroll.

Wow, that really is a quality building... might age reasonably well too if they keep it tidy.

The interior is great. I like the exterior of the sports hall bit but the administrative part has awful windows. Not a bad addition to the area.
