The Radley College Rowing Centre is a new rowing training facility, providing the high-quality year-round training facilities needed for the school’s rowing teams. The Rowing Centre building contains a state-of-the-art rowing tank that closely mimics actual river conditions, permitting on-site training throughout the year regardless of the weather. The building is naturally ventilated to prevent overheating and avoid chemical build up, while extensive glazing reduces energy demands and makes for a more pleasant training environment.
The building’s elegant interior is an IT-rich and controlled environment where training and performance quality can be closely monitored. Wall and ceiling mounted cameras record the rowers in action, and filmed footage can be projected onto a large screen facing the tank to give instant or detailed feedback.
