The new hub features a range of crucial facilities, including an elevated lifeguard lookout for enhanced coastal monitoring, new and improved public toilets, a dedicated medical suite for immediate first aid, comfortable and accessible changing rooms and a central management space for the beach safety team.
This landmark project was a collaborative effort, with the design conceived by Cover Storey Architects and the construction expertly undertaken by King & Drury Construction. A key priority throughout the project was to create a functional building that also respects and blends seamlessly with the natural beauty of the West Wittering coastline.
