Cambridge Sports and Social Club
A Terrapin building selected over five years ago as a temporary solution has been so successful that it is soon to become a permanent fixture. When a Cambridge company upgraded its sports and social club, it hired a building from Terrapin. The facilities have been such a success with staff that the company has decided to buy the building. Before the Terrapin building was erected, the original sports and social club was housed in a number of relocatable buildings – essentially builders’ huts that were a legacy from the construction of the company’s main headquarters building.
Produced using modern off site construction methods, the new Terrapin building provided a quick and high-quality replacement for these inadequate facilities. The Terrapin building is a large square structure, with a steel frame and flat roof. The internal partition walls are movable, which allows the building to be reconfigured to meet changing demands. The current layout includes an attractive bar area, full catering-standard kitchen and a flexible meeting space that can be used as one large room or converted into smaller meeting areas by moving two walls.
The chairman of the Sports and Social Club, says the new club building had been so successful that when the end of the hire period was approaching, it was decided the company would buy it. “Our experience of negotiating with Terrapin was flexible, with a win/win approach in mind, where both parties reached an amicable agreement to purchase the building with a cost effective solution,” he says. “There’s nothing temporary about this building. It has all the facilities we need, and it will do us proud for many years to come. It is very well-used by employees. The bar is open every night and there is a regular schedule of sporting activities. It is available for hire by staff and it is used for corporate entertaining, training and as a meeting room. Compared to our previous facilities this is much more modern, warmer and much more attractive.”
