CIC Chairman, Professor John Nolan commented:

鈥淚t is inspiring to see schemes embracing inclusion from the start of a project.  It shows what can be achieved when we work with the whole community and aim for true inclusion. LABC has demonstrated the benefits of an Inclusive Design Award encouraging members to champion the achievement of an inclusive environment in all their projects鈥�

Tony Burton, CIC Chair of Inclusive Environments added: 

鈥淭his scheme demonstrates not just compliance with minimum standards but shows what can be done when you go the extra mile, making inclusion a key part of the initial strategic brief.鈥�

Wycombe Leisure Centre fought off competition from the Francis Crick Institute and Stihl Treetop Walkway, who were both shortlisted for the award. The judging panel was particularly impressed with the scheme's integration, working with a diverse range of stakeholders from the outset and throughout.

The state of the art facility was designed to encourage greater sports participation from all members of the Wycombe District and beyond. A focus on accessibility for the disabled led to developments such as indoor bowls, a pool with a moveable floor and WC changing places.  

Alison Pipes, from Wycombe District Council commented:

鈥�The team at Wycombe worked hard to make sure that the leisure centre was designed and constructed to be as inclusive as possible. This award is testament to the dedication showed by everyone involved in the building project and the continued running of the leisure centre鈥�.
