Queensgate Leisure Extension

Rolton continued a 30-year partnership with Queensgate Shopping Centre with advice and multi-disciplinary engineering services for a blockbuster project.

The three-storey extension and refiguration included a 10-screen IMAX cinema and created 77,000 sq. ft of new space at the Peterborough retail and leisure destination.

As well as the cinema, the development has nine new food and beverage units and two leisure units, as well as a bright central atrium. A new glazed bridge connects to the existing part of the Queensgate centre.

Remarkably, the centre remained open for the duration of the works programme, with Rolton collaborating with all key stakeholders to understand the needs of client and consumers. We also provided extensive technical advice for the control and exclusion of environmental hazards, building leakage and pressure testing to ensure compliance with building regulations.
